Hello, gigi28bern-ga; If you are interested in buying a new Cray, you can only purchase them from Cray Inc. (I contacted Cray over the phone to confirm this.) Cray has offices around the world: U.S. Field Offices: http://www.cray.com/company/us_field_offices.html International Offices: http://www.cray.com/company/international_offices.html The cost of a new Cray system ranges from $2,000,000 US to $100,000,000 US. If you would like a used Cray, you might want to check out part 4 of the Cray FAQ, "Buying a previously owned machine": http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/town/park/abm64/CrayWWWStuff/Cfaqp4.html#TOC1 Additional Links: The Cray homepage: http://www.cray.com/ Cray contact information page: http://www.cray.com/company/contact.html Search Strategy: Google Search: CRAY supercomputer ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=CRAY+supercomputer&spell=1 I hope this helps! Best regards, Bikerman |

This may be of interest: "Interested in owning a Cray supercomputer? Tony Cole is your man. Cole's company, MemoryBilia (San Mateo, CA) sells various pieces of Cray supercomputers for prices ranging from a few hundred dollars for memory boards encased in lucite to several thousand dollars for a Cray-1 chassis (for those in the market for a very expensive bench). Five years ago, Cole bought Lawrence Livermore Labs' Cray-1, which was about to be junked, for $10,101.01 (it originally cost $19 million). Two years later, Cole called Cray Supercomputers to try and track down more equipment. After persisting for two months, Cole finally got through to Seymour Cray himself, and managed to buy a Cray-2, Cray-3, and Cray-4 for $5000. Cray may have got the better of the deal, since $5000 was more than they would have received from the junkyard." http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:v3paC8NOb4MJ:www.ddj.com/documents/s%3D920/ddj9805v/+%22buy+a+cray%22&hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8 |
