Yup!
I just turned the machine on last night at around this same time yesterday, but had to turn it off for about an hour while I got VNC working. (Now I have a new problem. The stupid computer won't boot-up without a monitor connected. Frack).

I thought about selling it at the time, but then decided I'd keep it. Very glad I did, because I switched it back on a few months ago, and it's since netted me several thousand bucks more.  |
Correct. Maybe at the time the value of Bitcoins was much lower, so mining even on a super-fast ASIC wasn't terribly interesting. Today though its another story, hence my interest.

They probably are, but maybe they just run out of space and or resources. That many machines requires a ton of power, a ton of AC, etc etc. Plus, why limit themselves to just using the machines themslves?
