Like to run them, not store them
If I had the space and energy bills weren't such a worry I would too :)
My latest acquisition is a barely marginally topical
Dell Poweredge 4400 from 1999. It will save on
running the heater this winter, though.
I have a HP zx6000 Integrity machine for that. OpenVMS at 1000mph...
with extra heating :D The Alpha PWS does a pretty decent job of that
too.
Strangely most of my older stuff doesn't run that warm, but it's
mostly small stuff.
