This takes me back to 2004 when I inherited a NasRaQ, the original company file server, which had been replaced by a Windows Server 2000/2003 a few years prior. It became my go-to storage for Ghost and ISO images until the company gifted it to me around 2009. I may have had to replace one of the two drives while it was in service, but it was a rock-solid machine! Finally sold it on Craigslist in 2011, but I’m pretty sure it would’ve kept on trucking. Would've loved to try this out!"
This is great fun. I had a Qube on my desk for a long time, and we had RaQ3 running for many, many years. They were great little machines.
Sun paid an absolutely fortune for Cobalt if I remember right!
I ran a single Cobolt RaQ for years for a client. I think it was the RaQ 2. It was dedicated hosted at RackSpace back in the late 90s to about 2002
At the time, RackSpace was an excellent customer service company even for smaller accounts. To this day it was the best customer service I ever worked with.
When I decommissioned the RaQ, my RackSpace rep called me and asked if they could ship the system to me. Apparently, it was the last Colbalt system they had running by years.
