King of the hill

I’m donating my old computer stuff that I never use to Computer Heaven, a local computer-recycling place.

Here’s the whole stack, plus my macbook (which I am not giving them):
a lot of computers

Some statistics might be in order.

Statistic	All The Sun Computers	The PCs	The MacBook
Disk Space	2,800MB	160,000MB	240,000MB
Memory (RAM)	272MB	1024MB	2048MB
Clock cycles (in MHz)	337.6	2400	4800
Pixels\*bits of display	33M	32M	55M
Power Consumption	\~3kW	\~1kW	0.085kW
Weight	about 2000 lbs	about 200 lbs	about 7 lbs

To be picky, this isn't really everything -- it's just all I could move in my spare time over a couple of days. I have about 4 more rackmount machines to bring up once my offsite hosting is up and running, and of course, that would leave the Mac no longer quite on top.

Still, it’s humbling.

Wow, that’s slightly more computer gear than I tossed/gave away when I moved out of Santa Clara in June (I had more stuff overall if you count the non-computer stuff). By the way, you might want to try the ‘free’ section on Craigslist. It’s amazing the kind of old crap people will come get if it is free. I got rid of almost half my stuff that way.
