well, the xyplex is neater, but also after i move i'm planning on this rack
of hardware in my office being somewhere else in another room.  i won't be
putting this heat generating monster in my next office.  it's LOUD too. :)

that's just the top half, there is a sparc2 and a sparc10 under that sparc20
as well as soon to be a NetApp F330 as soon as i get it running.  so it's only
going to get louder and generate more heat.
