But that
machine was beautiful in a way different from an S/360.  And
 there's definitely charm to having an entire building's worth of
 S/370/168 on raised floor with all of its racks lined up perfectly and
 all of its tapes singing. 
 ...and earplugs in your ears!  :) 
 
Are you kidding?  The noise is half the fun!  8-)
