        Old story: There was a sale at a big box Electronics store on Seagate Barracuda SCSI-2 Wide 9.1GB drives and I bought 6 of them to give me a 40GB RAID-5 on an old mylex dac960 scsi raid card. Bigtime storage in 1999.

        Those fed my 3:1 ratio mp3 sharing site that my uunet bot advertised haha.

          That’s insane I absolutely love it. To put that in perspective, 1999 game storage requirements:

          • GTA 2, 70 MB
          • Quake III Arena, 70 MB
          • SimCity 3000, 230 MB
          • Everquest, 1 GB

      I fished a tower like that out of a dumpster and built my first gaming PC in that and ran Gentoo on it about 2005. Played CS 1.6 and WoW and had better performance in Linux than Windows at the time.

        Sylvartas is right, it’s an old flatbed scanner.
