That's a nice computer... I have that one... Mine is a 7006 41T with a 
GXT500 framebuffer (Thanks Bill), 2GB drive, AIX 4.3.3, a 6091 19" 
monitor (with cable... Thanks Chris P) and 96 MB RAM.  It's slightly 
pokey sometimes... but it's solid.  It needs a new front bezel door to 
complete it.  I also might want to upgrade it to a 42T someday... (PPC 
604 vs 601).  Now I have to get some software to play with on it... as 
soon as this damn heat dies down... it was 108 degrees in the house the 
other day... so I only run the PPro (router) and the Mac.  No AC... 
blargh... just fans galore.  But I passed my first SCSA exam yesterday 
310-011.  One left... next week.
