[HECnet] So who's looking forward to all the cheap second-hand Itanium gear that will soon be flooding the market?

Is your zx6000 crazy noisy as well? My rx2600 (RHESUS, btw, on HECnet) sounds like a freaking jet engine..

I strongly suspect that's one reason I got my zx6000 so cheap. Itanium is about to become an ex-technology I suspect!

Incidentally, if anyone comes across front, top and side covers and the steel pedestal stand for a zx6000 I need them.

Hello!
Incidentally folks, there's a reason why your hardware is that noisy.
It happens that the processor inside runs very hot. And the fans
inside are working night and day to keep it cool.

Interesting article. Oh and according to the people on the lists I
belong to regarding the IBM mainframe, that really means just barely
runs there. Oracle just might run on the Intel based hardware that IBM
actually still makes but I wouldn't recommend it. And neither would
they.

Now why are there two yetis in your yard, Sampsa?
