30A 208 pulled from panel temporary to run argon laser. That was before I 
installed the 36KvA UPS. The little power supply in the back takes in 3 
phase 208A @ 30A and uses 2 gallons a minute of water, then drops like 70 
amps of DC at 60V or something to the laser. Something really nasty and 
lethal.

There might be other pics on my flickr of the Cray through the years at

Had 4, sold 3, kept one for years... but it's up for sale cause 
hobbies/interests have changed a bit and storage space/power (still have 
more than my fair share of older computers.) I work near all the 
datacenters in Ashburn Virginia and I've been tempted to see about finding 
some space for it. The buildings often have a ton of unused space.
