🖥️ *1990s Supercomputers Worth Millions Hit Auction* 🖥️

Three 1990s Cray supercomputers – once the “Bugatti Veyron of computers” – are going under the hammer at RWB Auctions, Wiltshire.

The collection belongs to IT collector Dan Goldsmith. One machine, the *Cray Triton T-932*, once owned by the UK govt, had a $39M £29M list price. Only 3 are believed left worldwide. Starting bid: £40,000.

The other is *“Typhoon”*, the first Cray T3D and once Europe’s fastest supercomputer. It cost ∼$15M £11M new. Starting bid: £60,000.

Each unit weighs 3-4 tonnes, stands 2m tall, and needs tonne-sized cooling units. Goldsmith says a modern gaming PC is now “a couple of magnitudes more powerful”. He’s selling because he can’t store them much longer.

Auction ends 18:00 BST, 31 May. No govt secrets inside – the data tech was destroyed before Goldsmith got it.

🐱 *Skip-Dive Find: Louis Wain Cat Paintings Sell for £16,000* 🐱

Two Louis Wain paintings found in a skip by dog walkers in Pembrokeshire have sold for *£16,000* at Rogers Jones Auctioneers.

The couple spotted them while walking their dog, hung them on their walls for years, then gifted one to their daughter-in-law who loves cats. After researching Wain, they were “gobsmacked” to learn he was a celebrated British artist famous for his cat drawings in the late 19th/early 20th century.

Wain often struggled for money and sold work for small sums. He later became one of Britain’s most influential artists. The 2021 film _The Electrical Life of Louis Wain_ starring Benedict Cumberbatch brought him renewed fame.

Auctioneer Ben Rogers Jones says skip finds are rare but not unheard of. Sellers must sign to confirm ownership before auction.

A handwritten letter from *Admiral Horatio Nelson*, dated 11 Sept 1795, sold for *£6,000* at Bearnes, Hampton and Littlewood in Exeter. It was part of the auction of 870+ items from Rolling Stones drummer *Charlie Watts* and wife Shirley’s home, Halsdon House in Devon.

Jackson Po***ck’s drip painting _Number 7A, 1948_ sold for *$181 million (£135m)* at Christie’s New York on Monday, becoming the most expensive Po***ck ever sold at auction.

Christie’s called it one of history’s “first truly abstract paintings.” The work features Po***ck’s signature black paint drips with touches of red across a 3m+ canvas. It came from the collection of media magnate SI Newhouse.

The same sale also saw Constantin Brancusi’s bronze _Danaide_ go for $107.6M, the 2nd highest price for a sculpture at auction. Works by Mark Rothko and Joan Miró also set new artist records.
