I'm having flashbacks to some Alpha machines that were donated to FreeBSD.org in the early 2000s for an Alpha build cluster.

They came from Microsoft, although perhaps indirectly, and the drives had all sorts of NT/Windows labels and IIRC had not been wiped.

I have photos of the machines but I don't recall what happened to the drives. I know they were put aside.. somewhere...

The machines were eventually replaced with systems (indirectly) from Pixar. The original machines are long gone.
