Google's Early Hardware

Thanks to Archive.org's Way Back Machine, we can all bask in the glory of Google's home made HDD cases, constructed partially of Lego, as well as other neat-o toys. Is that a PowerPC logo I see on one of their servers?"

    My room is starting to look like that.
    Ive got:
    firewall (P133)
    file/web/dns/mp3 server (pIII 700)
    Qube 2 (MIPS 250Mhz, 256Mb RAM)
    xbox (soon, going to be a webserver, moving to DSL line)
    modem (urrrrgh)
    16-port old switched 100mbit hub (donated)
    dual-monitor desktop (not always on)
    laptop (always with me)

    No pictures though. You arn't a true geek unless youve at some point abandoned the idea of screwing everything into a case, screwing the case up and running it neatly.
    My firewall spent 1 year in a drawer, the server's got hard drives attached to every ide channel (3 hd's and a writer) with hd's laying in the bottom of the case.
