I am interested in buying a old Cray - say a Cray 1 or XMP. 

I would also consider one of the early Connection machines
from Thinking Machines Corp. 

The exact model does not matter - I just want one that is 
old enough that it isn't a megabuck proposition.

This is not for scrap - I think that they are some of the 
coolest computers ever made and I'd like to save one from 
the scrap heap, and to be frank, put it in my living room.

It does not need to be in running condition, although I do 
want it to be basically complete (i.e. major electronics intact).

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Nathan
