I would change those monitors...
Why didn't that guy spent more on some awasome 18.1" LCD monitor? Or maybe a Sony 24" FD Trinitron???

This pic is kinda dated, I saw it awhile ago, he probably doesn't have IBM's in it anymore.

I originally posted that chappie there with the Death Star back when we still had the original forum software before the change.

I even have an e-mail from him which I will try to find.

Basically he explains that he was lucky enough to find a few of the racks and stuff in a dumpster.....

One man's booger is another man's treasure....

Interestingly enough there is a photograph of the guy himself on another forum site and he looks little like the Emperor as well....

(No offence if you happen to be reading this....)

Thanks for the system specs Ai! That computer or computers or whatever it is, is absolutely unbelievable. I can't even begin to imagine putting that much money into a computer. It must be nice to have money to do whatever you want to with it.

Also, the IBM drives don't have the best track record I agree, but I've had my two 75's for a while now with no problems. Plus, with the cooling he probably has, I doubt he'll have a problem with them.

You know Super, you just jink'sed yourself by saying you haven't had any problems. I suggest you just go out tonight and buy replacement drives.
