   Aquarius
project?  
 Every computer company had an Aquarius project at some point.

 That damn song... 
Perhaps.  In the case of DEC, it was because it was their first
watercooled machine.  It had a somewhat reduced performance counterpart
codenamed "Aridus" (as in "dry").  That one shipped as the VAX 8800
series; Aquarius was canceled.
