The cray 1 did look futuristic like something out of star trek.
It kinda reminded me of the trash can mac. I wonder if it was inspiration for it

If I ever have reason to build a Pi cluster, I'm putting in a Cray X-MP shaped case.

Ironically the trash can Mac actually looked strikingly similar in size and shape to actual small trash cans that were all over the Apple campus when I worked there. I’d see them in the cafeteria every day. They were aluminum though, but otherwise very similar. I always wondered if they had anything to do with the design of the computer, even if only subconsciously.
