And if they run out of propane they just turn the servers on and keep cooking.

How much would such system cost back then?

At least 5 tacos and a bowl of menudo

Imagine a company that only sold Mac Pros and more expensive machines…
These machines were super bespoke though. Sun and another company called Silicon Graphics (later SGI) were on the forefront of CGI and computer animation hardware among other things in the 90s. Movies like Toy Story and Jurassic Park and even games for consoles like the N64, were animated, rendered, edited, and developed on Sun and SGI machines.
Sun also made Java before they were bought out by Oracle. If you used a device that ran Java code in the 90s or early 2000s (for instance many flip phones and DVD players) there is a pretty large chance that device was programmed on a Sun machine running Solaris (today known as Oracle Solaris).

Hundreds of thousands of dollars. Sun Microsystems..

After a few years those things will be sold for scrap or just dropped into a dumpster. Which is probably how our friend here acquired it.

E-waste is probably food safe enough, right? 😬
