According to that article, the Cray J932 can contain up to 32
processors and run 6.4 gflops. That's a whole lotta power for the $99
opening bid... assuming the system is in complete working condition.
If it's not, good luck getting parts!

University lab might be the market.

I can't imagine running anything my 2.5 giger can't handle. It gets
the job done.

A 2.5Ghz pentium may only be a couple of times faster than a P100, for
some tasks.

If it requires random access to large (greater than the on-chip cache)
amounts of memory, random access speed of chips hasn't really changed
in the past decade.

Some 'supercomputer' type computers took extreme measures to get round this.
