Dude, just get a pocket calculator

IML? Regardless, these computers were built in America - unlike the p.o.s. junk found in computer rooms these days that come from China.

Thank you for the video! My question could sound rather stupid but what's exactly causing such noise? For some reason I'm sure that this isn't a cooling system :)

So much power for so little computation. Everyone should look at this and marvel at how far modern computers have come. Nice video!

Where do you find these old machines?

I have a few old 8 and 16bit micros but nothing like that.

Brings back memories of 1974-78 for me!

I sent you an msg via youtube w/more info.

There's an old memory, or is it a nightmare - a quiet S/3 computer room! Good job on the restoration. Now all you need is an RPG compiler...

The S/3 consumes 3-phase power; the big bang is the normal sound of the 3-phase rotary converter starting up!

What was that big bang?
