I think we've learnt our lesson after our last attempt to acquire
Intel-based SGI supercomputers...

The thing will likely end up being a white elephant to whoever gets it,
anyways - I'm not familiar with any museums with the funding or resources
to operate a machine of this scale, and it would surely be a gumption trap
for any private individual - hobbyist, scrapper, or otherwise. Hopefully I
get proven wrong!
