I bought a Unisys 5000-90 from Federal Surplus (3 cabinets weighing 800 pounds apiece) full of blinky lights, two reel-reel tape drives and 4 500 meg harddrives weighing 100's of pounds apiece. It drew 60 amps at 220 volts and you could only start one drive at a time. I loved that monster. It had 4 68020's running parallel. I paid more a month to run it than it cost me initially. But what a toy!
