There ought to be enough old CRAY hardware out there, from which you can
extract the circuits but not the plumbing and keep your PC and stuff in
liquefied N2. That might help a little, and it will be cleaner, too. In
fact, you ought to get it to run faster than the CRAY. I wonder if the CRAY
will run as many instructions between crashes as the PC . . .
