A Convex SPP1-2 supercomputer on eBay for $99.  In Northern Virginia .... imagine that.  Not like anyone in Northern Virginia is the world's largest single market for snoopercomputers, or anything like that -- oops, what a giveaway.

(No, it wouldn't look good in the living room.  Anyway, the SPP-UX OS it runs isn't available any more.  Besides, this thing requires 16 amps at 240 volts.  That's almost the power consumption of the average electric oven and cooktop.)
