Hrm... what's the best way to answer this....

$ ruptime
barricuda     up  27+13:05,     3 users,  load 0.00, 0.01, 0.00

Barricuda and Beast are upstairs (heads), the other machines are
downstairs, in the rack (except for monster, who sits outside of the
rack.) Monster is rigged for (3)x VGA, but I never got around to setting
up my 20", 17", and 15" to do that. Never enough desktop space in any one
given area. Spaz does my email (typing into it right now from barricuda)
and Head is an MP3 server -- 28GB [used] (31GB total) in a software RAID5
to be exact.

Munky rsyncs with head (when Munky is on), and backs up the MP3 spool into
it's own 2x 17GB stripe array (32GB total space)

Brodie has 10 serial ports but has never been setup, my Multias are not
setup, etc, etc.

My four Sparc's (3 IPX, 1 IPC) are happily doing nothing in my wonderful
little colo spot.
