ITS SO CUTE. I love it.. had an RX01 and some
other stuff in it (which is now all out in the garage
on the workbench waiting to be cleaned up). Took me
about an hour to clean up the cabinet/enclosure itself,
tighten up the rails, etc.. but it ended up being a
perfectly temporary home for my "home network" gear
until I re-fill it with PDP stuff.
I'd just never seen such a "contemporary office
enviroment"-styled enclosure. The top even matches my desk. 8-)

Yes, it looks so sad without the PDP inside of it.

And if you'll re-read my message, the PDP stuff (which is covered in a THICK
layer of dirt and dust) is out in the garage awaiting a thorough dissasembly,
cleaning, and reassembly before I put the stuff BACK IN the little rack
cabinet. Seeing as its the middle of summer, with 101F days here, and no
AC in the garage, the PDP systems may not be cleaned for a couple of weeks,
so until then, I put other equipment in the cabinet.
Or would you prefer that I just let it sit and gather MORE dust in the
garage until I'm able to work on it?

Yes. When I got a small load of PDP-11/03s from Ohio State, they
were all in those. I'm still using them for PDP-11s (RX01 + BA11N),
but I'm contemplating sticking a couple of RL02s in one so I can roll
them around and put them on whatever needs them at the moment.

I've never seen many of them, that's for sure. Mostly, for "office"
use, I've seen the 42" cabs. We had a satellite office with a
VAX 11/730 and a PDP-11/24 for e-mail/word processing and accounting,
respectively in the 42" racks. On a tangent, someone hacked that 11/24
between the time we removed the financial packs and the day we closed that
office. I went out there to power it down and uncable it and there was 6"
of login failures in console paper behind the LA-36. They started on a
Friday and finally guessed a password about 05:30 on Monday. It didn't
gain them much - I think the logs were only a few hours old when I brought
it down for the last time.
