Just stumbled across this video on YouTube and thought why not start a thread collecting videos (with machines!) members enjoyed to watch?
This video is mainly about the private collection of a professor in the UK and how to make it enjoyable by other people, useful for learning, science and development of new forms of computing hardware.
Highlights:
- a Crimson (with front cover removed)
- two Indigos
- at least one Origin200 (with intact front skins!)
, the other case could be a GIGAchannel Expansion Cabinet
- multiple racks of Origin2000 and also some floorstand versions
- something that looks like a Silicon Graphics shipping crate
- a cool reset/emergency shutdown button
- a Sun Enterprise 10000
- a Cray XD1
- some machine from DEC that calculated poll results (Could be a PDP-11 - at least there's a manual with PDP-11 written on it adjacent to its parts)
Quotes:
- "Who could throw away this equipment? It's beautiful!"
- "Tomorrows computer wizkids are loving this hands-on access to these old machines."
- "It's so huge! One could spend weeks and weeks, examining everything and saying uh, ah, I remember that."
Was fun to watch.
