It might be interesting to use one of the accellerated 802.11G systems
but it'd only give you UP TO 108 Mb/s half-duplex.
There are other options: 802.16 has some non-standard implementations
ranging up toward 80 Mb/s full-duplex and there are some gigabit
half-duplex (but *why*?) wireless services on the horizon.
6-8 processors isn't a real big heat challenge though, and the benefits
of having the hardware co-located and hardwired seems to outweigh the
benefit of dispersing the boxes into a bunch of different spaces.

Cheers!
Please don't laugh, or maybe this is so funny [ridiculous?] that you'll
get a good laugh, and it will make your day!
Anyway, I want to build a small linux cluster [6-8 total processors] but
don't have a lot of cooling in one place. Running wires would not be
practical, if not impossible Now, the application is extremely
coarse-grain, and only a very, very small amount of data gets moved
about once initialization of a job is done.. Can it be done "wireless?"
Please share your laughs...
Cheers..
