If you're willing to answer it would also be interesting to know what drove you to spend as much as you did on that particular computer?
I got in a bidding war with someone and ended up paying $330 for six Onyx2 racks from Boeing surplus about ten years ago. Most of the graphics modules were toast and a bunch of the node boards failed out, but the rest of the compute modules were ok. At one point I managed to get five racks working when CrayLinked together before it all went to custard (lost a power supply and my system disk in short succession).
They sure look good, though. http://www.kiwigeek.com/galleries//GeekPala-Dece2015/DSC_1871.JPG - JP
