Museum strings together 30 old Mac minis for replica of most successful supercomputer, builds something more powerful than the original

What's better than giving the hardware you already own a fresh lease on life ? Dedicating your older tech to resurrecting even older supercomputers. At least, that's if you ask the Museo de Historia de la Computación in Spain . The hardware history museum recently used 30 Mac Minis dating between 2012 and 2014 to resurrect the Cray-1 supercomputer (via Ars Technica ). Debuting in the bygone year of 1976, the Cray-1 is noted for its striking C-shaped cabinet.
