File information
Description

Grex computer: It sits on the floor to the right of the desk, with a white UPS wedged in between it and the desk, and a four-bay SCSI chassis standing on top of it; the big box you see is a 12-slot VME chassis with slots for 12 VME boards, a quality power supply on the right side (the thing with the silver handle), drawers for four SCSI disks in the top section, and an array of 9 fans in the bottom.

This particular set of components in this particular type of chassis makes this a rather well-equipped Sun SparcServer 4/670.

The blue cable plugged into the back of the motherboard connects Grex to the ethernet hub. The white cable just above it loops around to the four-bay SCSI enclosure on top of the VME chassis. Another SCSI cable loops back down and plugs into the top part of the VME chassis, where there are more drive bays. Also in the external SCSI enclosure is a 8mm Exabyte "Mammoth" tape drive.Grex also sports a pressure gauge (permanently reading in the red zone) and a stuffed chihuahua wearing a beret
