So true. Later we had 800mhz AMD boards in 4u boxes.

I miss the SGI / Sun days sometimes.

Not so long after, I rented an office (It's now gone).

Good times, but I don't miss the big power bills and everything. Real 
estate got too expensive down here, so now I've got a storage unit and an 
apartment. Still have a few pieces of equipment but gave much of it away 
(sold a few bits as well).

Houses in Southeastern Virginia don't have basements either. I drooled 
when I saw some setups up in Maryland in basements.
