There aren't many computer museums around Alabama, and it was cost prohibitive to ship it anywhere as it weighed close to 2000 lbs. Anyways, I was able to find a buyer at $700, and the guy even came and picked it up :)
- xxpor 15y ago2000 lbs? Holy crap. Where was all the weight? Did they use a 1/4 in steel case or something?
- oomkiller 15y agoThe case was pretty thick, maybe not 1/4in but about 2-3mm. A lot of the weight came from the power supplies though, it had 3 48V monstrosities that put out a total of 1900W IIRC. Plus there were disk carriages, a squirrel cage cooling fan, and about what seemed like 100 boards that connected to a common "backplane" for IO and power. It added up to be pretty heavy.
