SGI: hinv

Here's the Origin 2200 that I picked up a few weeks ago, running with two node boards fully populated with 64MB DIMMS, quad-port differential SCSI board, dual-port FC SCSI board, and a quad-port network / six-port serial combo board.

Congratulations, that's a very nice setup.

Nice! I just found one myself.

Ha ha, will do. I just put it back together...disassembled it, cleaned it - inside and out, and reassembled. I'd of made Chip Foose proud.

I try to clean my computers out once a year. Well, the ones I use regularly anyway. A good air compressor makes that much less of a daunting task than would otherwise be the case.

It's amazing the thick wad of dust that builds up in them. My computer room has laminate flooring and I clean in there frequently, those don't get bad but the ones over carpet get a lot of dust buildup.

I wish I had one room big enough for all my computers, currently they're spread over three rooms and they're all dominated by dust bunnies.

I have a HEPA filter in the office going full blast and it still gets dusty, but I'm going to blame that on the cat and her litter box in the laundry room next door.

My computers are HEPA filters, since all the dust seems to end up inside them...

My computers are dust bunny generators.. there were no dust bunnies until they arrived!

dust bunnies, buddy ? were there no dust bunnies until computers arrived! ? Oh, does it sound like Alice in the dust land, like follow the dust bunny, and then tumbling down the dust hole. I wonder if there is a wonderland over there, the why on the why on the mystery of the why the dust exists, it might hide incredible secrets that your computers don't want let you know

the logical consequence might be: try to reduce your computers to the number you can really care, or simply to the number of dust bunnies you can catch

I had this problem, and I took that decision: cary just one IP30, plus Cerberus and a RiscPC, I do not want to see other machines around, and no machines I can lift (under 40Kg)

p.s. the attic (where the IP30 lives) has less dust bunnies, than the living room, there should be a scientific reason for that

The ultimate source of dust is organic material from living things. People shed skin and hair; clothes shed fibers; and plants shed pollen, leaves, and bark. This is most of the dust that you see. Computers don't make any dust, they just trap it in places where it gets stuck.

understood

the attic has

• no plants
• no cats
• no dogs
• no human beings

so, no bunnies dust exist there

logical consequence: put all your machines in the attic

Okay, post a picture of this magical attic containing your IP30 or I say it doesn't exist!

I swear legacy, you are on more drugs than the Rolling Stones ever were!

And make sure Lady GaGa is there as well.

Unfortunately, my attic has loads of fiberboard, wood, and mineral wool, all excellent sources of dust whenever anything moves. But, it has no "dust bunnies" because there are no hairs, clothing or carpet fibers. I think the attic idea is fine so long as it doesn't get too hot.

Lady GaGa in the attic ? It looks like a mission impossible, she hates the attic!
and this is the reason why I have hidden my IP30 there
I will try to make a photo, but there is a bad illumination

so long as it has a good insulation, and it has =)

You're too much uunix!

He just needs to spend more time with Gaga.
