Not a Mac or a PC!

I got a d|i|g|i|t|a|l Server 3000 last week.

it has 4 of the 8 RAM slots filled with 64MB sticks, so that comes out to 256MB. It can have up to 2GB of RAM. It has a 4GB HDD in one of the CD bays, along with something like a 4.6GB SCA drive in one of the four hotswap bays. It has a 400MHz dual-core Alpha processor. I have the OpenVMS CD and hobbyist license, but it's stopped outputting video for the second time since I got it. It has NetBSD installed on it. Got it last Thursday.

Awesome. I always wanted to build an Alpha box, and to mess with OpenVMS would be a real trip. Wish I knew more about VMS.

Cheers!

hahaha I have that Exact same Dell Keyboard!!! those things are NICE. I love the tactile feedback on them. Makes a great *ClickyClicky* sound when you type. The only other keyboard like It I have found, as an Compaq Keyboard, back from when they REALLY cared about computers

Heh, I love that keyboard. It's one of the few things Dell ever did right. I saw it at the dump and just had to grab it.
