I used to work on CDC supercomputers designed by Seymor Cray at a DOD think-tank. The 6600 and 7600, predecessors to the Cray-1. I was enthralled by the architecture, and later wound up in a CDC white labcoat working the graveyard shift at a CDC data center in Hawaii. Hat's off to you for your RUNNING Cray-1! I also looked at your homebrew speakers, which are boss! They look great! I've built some of my own design as well. And finally, let me hand it to you for such a great, well-thought out and organized website. Keep up the good work. I've been mollified and inspired by your projects and have decided to start documenting some of my efforts as well. It is HUGELY supportive and inspirational for those of us who make things. Thank You, Chris! I heard about your mini-Cray-1 from Slashdot, and was psyched!

Unfortunately, I’m usually poor, and I live in a space that’s ~300 ft^2 (that I share with someone else), so actually owning anything considered a super is out of the question. Fortunately, “Supercomputers” from the 1980’s weren’t actually all that complicated, and cheap FPGA boards have gotten pretty good. On that note, crank up the Devo and check out the Non-Von1.
