You might be interested in my BSDI box, in that case - it's a 486DX2/66 w/ 32Mb of memory (expands to 256Mb), 5Gb of disk, 1/4" and DAT tapes, CD-ROM, 2 floppies, etc. all in a case with redundant 900W power supplies and 18 disk bays. Last I looked, it weighed about 180 pounds. But, being big and square I doubt it could be lifted by one person. Might be exactly what you're looking for 8-) Terry Kennedy Operations Manager, Academic Computing terry@spcvxa.bitnet St. Peter's College, Jersey City, NJ USA terry@spcvxa.spc.edu +1 201 915 9381
