HP 9000 K220 - May 16, 2025

This server is an absolute beast. When it was new, the cost in its current configuration (four processors, 2Gb of RAM) would have likely been over $100,000. This machine was acquired from Garrett over at BitHistory.org. It has been cleaned inside and out, has had its four hard drives wiped, and HP-UX 11.00 was installed. It now has an IBM 5150 that sits on top of it as the terminal. The machine pulls upwards of 400 Watts while running, making it the most power hungry machine in the collection (and is definitely the loudest!). Updated 8/15/2025
