Mostly, the machine are DEC 2100 ALPHA servers:
With them inside the cabnet is a XYZ raid controller, with two internal hot-swap disk controllers. Connected to the raid controllers are 2 DEC SCSI disk packs, with various combinations of 4.3 and 9 gig disks arranged in a raid 0 (mirror) fashion. Some of the other smaller systems are DEC ALPHA 400au workstations (that we use as servers) they have similar configurations, but usually only 1 CPU and less RAM.
