When we needed to move the BBS, our hardware person just took out the guts of
an old Compaq 386 and added a length of SCSI cabling with a lot of connectors
inside.
Who said old PCs can't be useful?

We've also got a dedicated SCSI tower with six external slots connected to our
Amiga 3000. A lot of people think the tower is the computer, not the lunch box
below the monitor.

Now, IBM's old SCSI tower, there's a real Rolls Royce. It's really a PS/2
model 95 case, and when fitted with IBM drives, it looks really nice with the
sloped front plates. It's a shame IBM insisted on using their own kind of
front plates and SCSI connectors.
