My dad used to work on a 360, although it wasn't a watercooled one...I've got 
some old machines myself, since I haul old equipment away for companies and 
pick through stuff left at the landfill. I've got an HP86 in my room, w/built 
in GPIB bus and an external dual 3.5" floppy drive that runs on GPIB (HPIB). 
And I've got two mostly complete LSI-11/73's in the basement. I think they're 
both almost as old as I am (18)

BTW, I found something the other day that the tube audio folks here might 
appreciate..A McIntosh C22 preamp, with all the original telefunken 12AX7's 
in it. It needs a bit of cosmetic work. I'm going to have to glue the letters 
back onto the front display, and replace the outer front panel, which is 
shattered, and I think I'll buy a decent walnut case to put it in..somebody 
just left it sitting there at the dump...
