Well, the one thing that I know the PC is genuinely better at than
many platforms is bit rotations.  IE, crypto.  So buy a nice machine
(say a PReP machine), move the graphics card, excess RAM, and sound
card to that,  and dedicate the PC as a crypto processor running
openBSD.

Does any other platform have rotates?   To my understanding, SPARCS of
any sort don't, and PPC chips don't.  Don't know about anything else
though.
