HP to buy Cray computers for $1.4 Billion. Still seems cheap to me.

Not even sure what Cray do these days. Seems they still have some value though. More consolidation

They still sell around the world. I missed a trick in 2012 I could have bought a Cray CX1 Workstation for about £600 odd, sadly it was the first and last time they sold a workstation that Joe Public could afford. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray_CX1

There's one for $5K on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/CRAY-CX1-SUPER-COMPUTER-Super-Computer-Blade-Server-/362091947099

Cray CX1
The Cray CX1 is a deskside high-performance workstation designed by Cray Inc., based on the x86-64 processor architecture. It was launched on September 16, 2008, and was discontinued in early 2012. It comprises a single chassis blade server design that supports a maximum of eight modular single-width blades, giving up to 96 processor cores. Computational load can be run independently on each blade and/or combined using clustering techniques.
