[SunRescue] Salvaging a big case to use as drive enclosure?

[Mike Hebel]

>>I once had my RS/6000 fail in an intensely weird way: when I
>>tried to power
>>it on, the fans would begin to spin up for about a second, then everything
>>would shut off. Eventually I discovered that if I pulled my tape drive
>>out of the chassis, even if it was still connected, everything was fine.
>>Apparently the tape drive failed in such a way as to short power through
>>the case and the power supply decided it was safer to stay off. (Well,
>>that's my theory anyways.)
