Next 'stack' of computers to go, IBM p7's - not classics this time

[Pete Lancashire]

I was asked about configuration. Everything nowadays is a bit foggy but one
of the p720 s I had converted to a split back plane and was running it with
a pair of VIO serves it is also setup for Enterprise VM. It also has fiber
cards to go to a SAN The other was a standalone DR that's the one that's
pretty loaded sadly the disk we're pulled and it had over a terabyte of
hard drives. The last time I looked it would run you less than $500 to fill
both of them with hard drives and carriers

I guess I have to say no software is included.
