The "retired" Cheyenne Supercomputer is finally up for auction by the GSA, currently going for around $10,000, which is nothing when you consider what Cheyenne hosts.
Out-Of-Service Cheyenne Supercomputer Surfaces Up At An Auction, Going For Unbelievable Price For a quick background, the Cheyenne supercomputer came into existence back in 2017 and was utilized by the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC) for HPC applications, particularly for scientific research involving climate modeling and weather forecasting.
The Cheyenne was indeed a milestone of its time and brought in three times the power of what the previous supercomputer, Yellowstone, came with.
However, after seven years of service, the supercomputer was decommissioned and is apparently up for auction right now at rather absurd pricing.

Despite that, the GSA auction means that the supercomputer will likely go into the hands of a professional organization, meaning that an ordinary individual won't have access to this technology if you are hoping for it.
