Summary
This lovely machine was decommissioned from a DoD contracting office around 2001. I badgered my bosses to let me take it home for weeks, until they relented and gave it to me, technically an indefinite loan.
It came with two massive Clary UPS units, and a DataProducts Wide-Format Printer which unfortunately were lost in the Storage Unit Tragedy of 2004 and the Trailer Tragedy of 2004.
It also came with several HP managed 10bt hubs.
Original Usage
I used this machine as my personal web server for years, running HP-UX 11.00. The hard drive suffered an irreparable head crash, and I have had no luck so far with SCSI2SD solutions, as the SCSI2SD card I got seems to be defective.
Current Usage
The machine is not currently in use, as the hard drive is dead. I have a hard drive for it, but have not yet set it up.

HP 9000/800 I40
This mammoth box is eventually going to be my web server and music server. When fully loaded with disks, it will sport 320GB of fixed storage. It's PA-RISC architecture, but being a "Nova" class machine, it won't run any of the free OS solutions that will run on other PA-RISC machines, i.e. PA-RISC Linux. So, the next step is to get a copy of HP-UX. It has 320MB RAM.
History of the HP
The HP was pulled out of a defense contracting office as a trade-in, along with 2 Clary UPS units, a Dataproducts wide-format dot matrix printer, and a 700/96 terminal. It sat in the office at my workplace for months, until I convinced them it would be wise to let me take it and store it at my house. Technically, the machine is on loan to me indefinitely, until further notice. I don't imagine they'll be wanting it back, though. At some small expense, I bought a 1.2GB HP SCSI drive for it, but am still awaiting an OS.
