Perhaps in the future there will be mass produced Power Over Ethernet Plus CPU+RAM 10G (Gigabits) Chelsio Ethernet modules based on PowerPC CPUs.

The maximum power available on Power Over Ethernet Plus standard is 30 watts.

Possible CPUs: PowerPC 4XX SOC (AMCC), PowerPC MPC-8641D SOC (15 watts) etc

To connect the modules to ordinary PC, user can install PCI PoE+ 10G Ethernet board or external USB 2.0 /Firewire modules with 10G PoE+ Ethernet interface.

Perhaps in the future such modules can be used for Linux PowerPC, MorphOS, or AmigaOS.
Such module can also be used on stand alone PowerPC cluster inside ordinary PC case with ordinary power supply.

Is this idea possible?
