Since I know the list has a number of collectors of

is a link to an auction for *five* IBM 3990 storage controller cabinets.
I know nothing about such equipment. From the picture, I can't tell if
the unit has the optional ice maker and cold water dispenser.

Auction ends 3/23/2006. Part of the text says, in part:

3 days after close of auction. Items remaining beyond this time will be
forfeited. Pick-up times are 9 to noon, and 1 to 3:30pm, Monday through
Friday.
Removal: Buyer is responsible for all dismantling, rigging, crating,
loading: hauling at own risk and expense. THE AUCTIONEERS DO NOT FURNISH
PERSONNEL OR EQUIPMENT FOR LOADING!
Wow! Holy crap! It's not so much the humongous number of disk
controllers, it's that I doubt I'd ever have enough room or floor-load
capacity to have that much disk!
Peace... Sridhar
