What version of POV will they run?  Those seem to be 64 bit PowerPC CPUs 
so i assume they will run Linux.  Will the render be done on a single 
machine or on several ones in parallel?  A dozen of those machines 
connected via gigabit network would be quite useful for POV-Ray renders...

BTW anyone going to the CeBIT this year?

I wonder when their 'February issue' will be available, apparently it is 
not yet:
