Are there any published main line of a given test position, where you can see the strength of the 100 Cluster at say 3min and 30min?
Would be much easier to estimate the value of the product then, as I could compare it with my own hardware.

Seems like it's to Vas' disadvantage to give you any way to compare the cluster to your own hardware. You'll just have to drink the kool-aid.

Werewolf rented the 40Core Cluster and posted a review on Rybka Forum's The Edge. What first jumped out was that the Cluster has a small lag that weakens the Cluster at short time controls. So when he tried Cluster 40 cores v Houdini 1.5a in his Core i7 Overclocked to 3.6GHz/6GB RAM, Win 7 64 Bit/Tablebases on SSD, Houdini won 12-8 (3 min +1 sec, 20 game Nunn Suite).
Upping the time to 3 min + 4 sec allowed the Cluster to win +11 =6 -3, though.
