- h2odragon 2y agonah, i already have far more junk computers than i need. I lusted after a Cray T3E once that I coulda had for $1k and trucking it across TN and NC; but even then I couldn't have run it. I'm two miles away from 3 phase power and even then couldn't have justified the power budget. At the time a slightly less scrap UltraSPARC 6k beat it up on running costs even with higher initial costs so i went with that instead. I did find a bunch of Alphas to do the byte swizzling tho. Ex "Titanic" render farm nodes. I've been away from needing low budget big compute for a while, but having spent a few years watching the space i still can't help but go "ooo neat" and wonder what i could do with it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray_T3E https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray_T3E
