A "Piper", also an air-cooled model, one of 23 made.

That would be a wise move. Even though Cray ELs were built in fairly large
numbers (something like 400, I think), they still are going to be hard
things to obtain because of their "supercomputerness". Get any that you
can...

Of course, if you do run out of room...well, I know a place that would
take even a big C90...
