There are two fairly simple answers to that question:
# Supercomputers are expensive! (tens of thousands to millions of dollars) # The architecture for supercomputers is typically proprietary. Any software you run on it would have to be at least recompiled, if not rewritten completely from source on the computer. This means no normal games or photo/video editing software would run (those being the major reasons a "home" user would want a powerful computer for).

Why does a homeowners insurance adjuster send an engineer to inspect?
There are many reasons why an insurance company may send an engineer to inspect the damage to your home. The main reason is to determine the cause of the damage to your home. For example, the company may send an engineer to inspect damage to your home if your roof is damaged in order to figure out if it was caused by a covered cause of loss (hurricane) or if the damage is from normal wear and tear. If after the inspection the insurance company denies your claim I suggest that you speak with an attorney in your local area who specializes in first party insurance law.
What is the speed that traditional computers are measured in?
There are two units of measure. The first is the number of cycles per second performed by the CPU, measured in Hertz (Hz), where 1 Hertz is 1 cycle per second and 1 gigahertz (GHz) is 1 billion cycles per second. All home computers are measured in Hertz. Hertz are also used to measure memory refresh rates, video refresh rates and so on. The second unit of measure is the number of floating point calculations per second, known as flops, where a gigaflop is a billion flops per second. Supercomputers are typically measured in flops.
