Google appear to be currently offering a 60 day trial of Google Cloud Compute Engine, with a value of $300. Looking at http://goo.gl/tQxzKm, that seems to buy some pretty grunty RAM and CPU for two months.

Just imagine if everyone with a Google account signed up for the trial - we could get a HUGE amount of numbers crunched. And I don't see anything against grid computing in the T&Cs; in fact, that seems to be exactly suited to it!

So, if someone can knock up a quick "how to", I'm definitely in!
