SE/30s are people's favourite Classic Macs because
they're small and pretty
zippy for the time (16MHz '030). You can put a crapload of RAM into them and
a nice-sized SCSI hard disk and turn it into a lil' file server. I've seen
SE/30s crammed into closets doing AppleShare print services, for example, and
on my old LocalTalk apartment network, my SE/30 served boot blocks for the
IIgs systems to netboot. They run NetBSD and Linux superbly well. As a result,
they are getting harder to find since people tend to hoard them. They'll fit
anywhere you can find room.
But you have to arrange them just right if you want to stack a lot of
them.
