I'm not sure what you define as a supercomputer, but the closest thing I
know of that really fits on a desk is the Convergent Technologies S/50
(also known as the AT&T 7300).

On the other extreme, the smallest computer, that I would really consider
a supercomputer is the ELXSI System 6400.  With their new 6420 cpu they
rival a Cray 1.
