Los Almos Labs has taken a novel approach to high-powered computing. They've built a Beowolf cluster based on Transmeta Crusoe processors. These processors were initially desgined for use in laptops and run on less energy/give off less heat than most other processors. The resulting cluster requires notably less cooling than a traditional cluster.
