The other thing that's cute about the Cray-2 is the set of clear
plexiglass cooling fluid holding towers. They stand off to one side of
the CPU cabinet, just shy of 6' tall, and one or two of them have the
blue tinged cooling fluid cascading down inside them when the machine
is operating.

Can't say I think much of their choice of console, though. I mean, an
AT&T made IBM PC clone? C'mon! I was hoping for something suitably
impressive like the old CDC6400 console that's sitting in a hallway of
the UCB Computer Center (the 6400 has been de-commissioned for about
two years now). It looks like a great squatting bug (with two huge
round CRTs for eyes). Or at least a SGI IRIS workstation so that you
could have neat graphical system monitors...
