Psst! Wanna buy a used supercomputer? You're in luck if you did -- the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center just put a Cray up for sale at online auction giant eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=426080142. As of 2:48 pm EST, the leading bid was at $444,500.69. But international buyers need not apply -- in compliance with Commerce Department regulations, "Mario" (for such is the computer's name) can only be sold to those within the United States.
