Hmm... my Origin2000 *might* be looking for a home, and so might one
other at York.  That would make a 32-CPU 2-rack machine (both have the
necessary router boards and I have the Craylink cables) plus some
peripherals.  Interested?

Do you want an O2 or two?  There might be some moderately large
Challenge machines available too.

 Initial glance and that looks like a useful resource! 
It's well known, and I can confirm that Ian is very helpful.
