Hi
There is nothing particularly significant or
historic about this particular machine. It is
too bad that it will most likely end up being sold
for scrap. A museum may want to buy it but it
is generally like many current PC's. It is too
new to be of particular interest and is too
obsolete to be particularly useful. A school
might find it useful.
I'd like to have the machine but I tend to like
to collect useable machines. It would just be
floor space to me. Surely a conversation piece
but that is about all.

almost seems "too
good"..
It's been relisted at least a dozen times
now, it was started
somewhere around $300k-$500k the first time, and has gotten
progressively cheaper each time.
I remember the first 'Buy it now' price was $375,000 with an opening
price of $250,000.
It's a lot cheaper now but it's missing the on-site install by Cray
and the site license for the software.
