holy moly thats speced out! Look at the RAM, its full! 

xs4trade.net sells the key switches for 20 euros each. Just a little bit of money can make this one hell of an ANS!

Would you consider parting with one of those ANSes?!

It's probably foolhardy of me (I will probably never be able to afford shipping!), but I'm interested!

Maybe if you ever come out to California, you can drop it by?? [😀] ]'>

That is an insane number of DAT drives!! If you ever consider selling one let me know if pay very fair. Or I'd consider trading a hard drive with tray for an use in an ANS.

Thanks for the lead on the switches/parts, belgaonkar!

CC, yes, I will probably be parting with one of the ANSes.  They are large, and I think one is probably enough for me.  Once I figure out the parts situation and operational status, I'll know a little more what to do.  Not sure where in Cali you are, but perhaps we could arrange a midway meet up.

maceffects, I will also keep you in mind when I consolidate/minimize.  I don't think I need 4 DATs, but I know I want a working one and maybe a backup.

Sounds good, I can also send you a spare DAT drive without the tray and such, that's the part I really need with the bezel.

I think you can use the guts from a normal DAT drive in those sleds if the drive has failed. What speed are they DDS2/3/4?

Posted by: joethezombie on 2016-12-20 07:00:52
They are all DDS2.

I'm near Sacramento and San Francisco, so kinda just north of central CA. I see your in Idaho, so would the midpoint between us be somewhere in Oregon? There's a very slim chance I'll be going through OR next summer, but I really don't know for sure.
