I know someone who used to run 9 Fujitsu Eagle SMD drives on his Sun 3.
(The ones with the 14 inch platters.)   They draw 7 amps each.  He ran
the air conditioner in the winter.  Hydro was included in his rent. :-)

He has since disposed of the SMD drives and went SCSI.  He sold the
disks by the pound.  (50 cents/lb I think :-)
