Yeah, I'm guessing that's what's taking a toll on the PSUs? They've
got big caps in them, I'm sure.
My previous warehouse had *no* power outlets in the portion I rented.
The current warehouse has power outlets, but the building is woefully
underpowered. I feel like I'd be on the edge of burning a
fuse/popping a breaker to plug in anything that needs a high amperage
plug. So it's individual workstations and terminals only, at least
for a while. I never expected to be able to power on my big SGI
machines until I had some sort of machine room type environment with
controlled cooling and beefy power.

Please keep us posted as to your progress. I
have never had
sufficient power to fire up my Reality Monster and I suspect that the
longer it sits gathering dust, the more little problems I'm
accumulating...
Especially with the caps (as the PDP-10 conservationists here have
already expounded upon at length). They're the most likely
components to "rot" in storage after mechanical media.
