I owned a 4381 and a 4341 specifically
because there was no water involved.
I tried to buy a Liebert cooling system for a 3090 for another project
because it was an air / water cooling system of some considerable
efficiency. That unit went for more than both of the above combined,
and I didn't get it.
the 3090 was already gone, was still going to be used by the company for
more months as spare parts / expansion at another site.
Even the lowly 43XX (which was more powerful than
the biggest VAX ever
made) was watercooled.
Excuse me?
I worked with 4341 and 4361 systems at UChicago, and a pair of 4381s at
Stanford. There wasn't a water pipe to be seen. I think that you have
no idea what you're talking about.
