The desktop machine I'm referring to (an Amari "workstation") dates from 2009.
It has an i5 processor, 16GB RAM* and two 2GB SSDs as the main power sinks. It
sits (runs) in a boxroom 6ft square and keeps it comfortably warm. I haven't
noticed any change in ambient temp since the SSDs replaced spinners.

last thing I want from memory is random access! How much better it would have
been to call it something like Direct Access. Oh well - much too late now.
