A couple of years ago, when we bought this server, it was a Compaq 1500R 
Rackmount Pentium Server. It had hot-swap drives and was about the size of a 
'fridge, case and all. We put some DLT's in it for backup, it had a keyboard 
and monitor tray, and the door was smoked glass so you could lock it and still 
see the monitor. Pretty nice for the price. Less than $20k fully built. If I 
remember correctly, it had dual P5 166, 128Mb RAM, Ultra SCSI III, blah, blah, 
all the bells and whistles of that time. Still up and running.
