In the book, The Hunt for Red October, the acoustic signature of the Caterpillar Drive is modeled on a Cray-2 (pretty sure). There's a nice plot segment where the protagonist and the Cray operator make a wager on how long it will take to complete.
In comparison to that model of Cray I'd be curious how the Raspberry's fair. I actually learned linux on a bunch of 486/586 boxen given to me by my neighbor, so powering a Pi2 from my laptop's USB port and getting a full linux distro really impressed me.
