TOWER.OS5.COM, like all my other computer, is completely self-built. It is constantly upgraded through out the years. It currently has 3 SCSI channels (at most it had 5). All components are SCSI. It is utilizing a P3 600E, which I overclocked to 800 the day I bought it (CM of 6, FSB of 133MHz = 800Mhz). Currently, it weighs in at over 70 pounds. I once had carry it across the SUNYSB campus by hand.

Yes, it does run 7 operating systems (in a single drive, which is no easy feat). The Linux installs are pretty much manual installs. I did bare minimum installs, and compiled everything else myself. XFree86 was hell to compile. The Windows 2000 install is where I do a lot of my work (graphics especially), but I hope to change that as more applications are ported to Linux. QNX RTP and BeOS are fun, but not fit for doing my work.
