While we're (sort of) on the subject -

could an OG PS3 running YellowDog Linux be adapted for mining?

I know the answer is likely Yes, now someone with more Linux experience than me needs to make it happen. And post step-by-step instructions.

Or, even better, Kickstart it!

If it's running Linux, just download CGMiner or something in it's source form (not a package) and simply follow the steps in the readme file (how to make / make-install).
Should be up and running in a matter of minutes...

Unfortunately it won't do much better than a modern CPU. 38 kHash/s mining litecoin. Save your electricity pal!

It's pretty much like a spoon and a knife. Both are utensils, but they are not exchangeable for eachothers tasks.

I have used a spoon to cut things and also used a knife to eat soup (to prove a point) - my point is that both methods were inefficient but cool nonetheless.

I would love to see what an XBOX and XBOX 360s could do, maybe even PS3s i've heard of the PS3 being used in High Performance clusters for various things - if i remember correctly the US has banned sending games consoles to certain countries to prevent them having access to cheap high performance computers...

Well i do know the PS3 used to be able to run Linux (OtherOS) but has been disabled since.
