And I am absolutely NOT familiar with GPUs and such things...

I know (neither do I), and we all can dream. But 180-digit GNFS now only takes a few months on a few dozen cores, and that's far less firepower than this monstrosity.

about dreaming - when one sees this monstrosity (especially the "plans" for Helmer III), one can dream about SNFSing a c320 or running a few thousand ECM curves at B1=110M and 260M at F14 - but it stays a dream....

So will 1.41 allow 2^300 instead of 2^320 as minimum please? Otherwise Jeff said he can compile me a special version, but it might be nice for everyone.
