Not bad at all. Boot time Saturday, 28 September 1996. The box was running two Quantum full-height 5 1/4" 800MB SCSI drives that had been in there from at least before that boot date.
According to some Google archaeology, these were a 7,200RPM drive. Assuming no spin-down, that means the edge of the platters travelled an astonishing 26,202,699 kilometres during that uptime, or to put it another way, these drives travelled the distance to the moon - and back - a little over 34 times.
The box was finally taken down on March 29 due to increasingly noisy drive bearings. Can't think why.
