Not a bad idea, actually. But you can stick up to 7 
consumer Fermis into a single case (or 4, more comfortably)
for quite a bit less than a Tesla box (yeah, the double
float performance is crippled on consumer Fermis, but you
don't need that). Add IB and an 8-port
IB switch, and you've got a nice, cheap cluster there.
