I get a lot of times some of this stuff is too old to really use in enterprise, but it still works for a lot of things.
I’ve still got a server running Ultra320 drives. It works, it’s reliable, and it is cheap. And it’s kinda cool to keep some of this old stuff running and useful.
I had a System X tower (forget what model right off hand) previously. Thing was an absolute beast in terms of size and weight, took two people to manhandle, poor FedEx guy complained about it lol. You think rack mounted servers are loud, my 1U is deathly quiet compared to the jet engines cooling that model of System X. Was always a thrill turning it on though!
I’ve been watching to add another System X to my collection. I love IBM gear where and when I can get it.
