When I bought it, it was without RAM and disks. Great for heating your house and rapidly running up your electricity bill, I dare say, mind you I don't expect excess heat is so much of an issue in Finland! ;) Quite right - between September and May. We do have hot summers now and then. I rather heat my house using computers than radiators. That way I'll get double the gain. :) VMS is installed on those small disks and that wasn't difficult. I didn't need a shoehorn :P . VMS really don't need enormous disks - even if we are talking about the Itanium version. But to be honest, I have to find bigger and faster disks. :) I hit lucky just after I got mine and found a guy selling new, boxed and original HP 15krpm 73GB drives in the correct carriers for the zx6000 for 60 each shipped. I grabbed 2, one is in my IBM POWER5 machine (because it matches the existing disk) and the other is in my zx6000.
