Weren't schools buying Playstations for a bit because they were cheaper than computers with similar specs?

I swear that was a thing for a while, but I can't find any sources, so I might be mis-remembering

Schools and governments were buying up PS3 systems because they could be turned into cheap clusters.

Sony didn't like this, as they were losing money on every PS3, so they disabled the functionality.
