There's probably about $20K+ in that rig right now.....If you had to buy everything new that is comparable to what is in the system now, it would be about 4 times that amount. The racks and hardware associated with them are the biggest expense.......

And it is safe to say Ai, he has no life either. You don't have a computer like that AND have a life... just doesn't work...hehe
 
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???
 
Im surprised to see all the IBM GXP 75's in there. Those drives dont have the best track record.

This pic is kinda dated, I saw it awhile ago, he probably doesn't have IBM's in it anymore. ;)
 
Well, he choose to build the machines with them..Even when they came out they were bad drives.
 
i want to see him try and open that window! lol Anyways, that setup is CRAZY and it must heat that room in the winter...
 
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....)
 
It is alive!!!!

hehe. he reminds me of Phantasm66 :)

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. ;)
 
I should pay that guy a visit. I've bought quite a few CDs lately, I wouldn't mind ripping them all in half an hour :D
