Are there any old CRAY 1 or X-MP "shells" (i.e., with their innards removed) available today for display? At the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga we have a newly established center in which supercomputing is the principle focus. The building we occupy has an attrium in which an old CRAY system would be an excellent centerpiece to accentuate the focus of our mission. If anyone knows of the availability of any old systems please respond.

Sometime real J90s and other kit comes up on ebay but it is quite rare. Even the most popular machine only had a few hundred made.

These are rare now. Try Ebay ! Some other museums with Cray systems on display are listed on http://www.spikynorman.dsl.pipex.com/CrayWWWStuff/Cfaqp3.html#TOC34
