Lovely period furniture: VAX 4000-500

I had a temporary sheling unit made of 1x12's and PS/2 model 55sx units,
much like the cinder block shelves that we've all had when we were just
starting out in our own apartments. Mine was to accomodate books and unit
storage int he same space while working on getting a buyer for the machines.
Now the machines are gone and the books are in a shelving unit made of
cinder block and he 1x12's...go figure.
