Back in 1994, when I was just getting my computer business off the ground, a local company placed an order for 10 CAD stations. Top of the line for back then, 486DX2 66MHz, 16MB RAM, 10Mb NIC with coax option, 19 inch monitors that weighed more than the system did, etc.
Anyway, I lacked any professional burn-in tools, or even a proper workbench to construct 10 systems at once, so I had to improvise on both fronts. I got my hands on an old ping-pong table to build the systems on, sort of assembly-line style. And as I had an entire weekend to test them, a thought for the burn-in finally came to mind...
