I just need to whack in a pair of 73GB SCSI drives and it will become my fileserver, local webserver, backup box, and of course my firewall :) This system used to be used to test early stepping madison Itanium cores - currently has 2 * 800MHz 2MB Cache CPUs in it - the powerpods are the black boxes next to the heatsinks... has 2GB ram in it [all 128MB sticks] It looks very impressive and is a little 'loud'
So thats my server.... how is yours? :)
