Seymour Cray posing posed with the Cray 3 supercomputer at Cray Computer Corp company headquarters in 1994. Photo by Stephen O. Gombosi Cray-3 "brick" that is designed to be immersed in a tank of coolant. Photo taken of the Computer History Museum's Cray-3 brick by DigiBarn Curator Bruce Damer (March 2001).

The following are spares and related parts for the Cray-3 Supercomputer which was built in "bricks" and immersed in coolant. One unit, called "greywolf" was installed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado in the mid 1990s just before Cray's company ran out of finances.
