Remember that API Networks (the guys behind Alpha before Compaq sold the
IP to Intel) had a 1U rackmount server with dual 21264 (EV67 or EV68,
forgot which) at 833Mhz with 4MB of DDR L2 cache for each processor. It
also has on-board dual Intel 10/100 Ethernet and a single-channel
Symbios Ultra160 SCSI controller.

# Let's see... a Beowulf-class system of those, and running Seti.  Talk about
# nuts.  *goes in search of a Federal Grant to cover said sick, twisted and
# sadistic project...*

I think Microway or some other company created a Beowulf (and maybe a
OpenVMS cluster) of several of those 1U Alpha servers... drool. Of
course, dual Alpha processors would probably kick dual Athlons at
Seti@home anyways... mwahaha.
