A previous employer of mine bought a cool mini/PC several years ago: An
NCR 3000 series. Could handle something like 8 CPU cards with multiple
pentiums, had a UPS in the cabinet, 50 some hot-swappable SCSI bays, 512MB
of ram, multiple micro-channel buses and SCSI adapters, SVr4, etc.

On the back of the small-refrigerator sized box were a PC-style VGA and
keyboard connector! It would boot and run MS-DOS ;) hahaha.
