I realize this is off topic, but in case anyone is interested
www.onsale.com is selling these for $349.00 of course the one I just got
came to $386.46 when you add in shipping.

They've got a 1.44Mb floppy, 16Mb of RAM, 2Mb video card, 233Mhz processor
and some other things. It doesn't sound like they've got a hard drive,
keyboard, or mouse, adn there is no monitor. Still I gather it's a fairly
good price, and a bunch of people in the DEC newsgroups are picking them up
(I gather they still have about 25 to sell). The best part is this model
is supposedly able to run OpenVMS (Alpha), WinNT, Linux, and DEC Unix.

Now all I've got to do is save up for a copy of OpenVMS for the Alpha :^)

On the downside RAM looks to be spendy for these suckers.
