Yup, one just went for $1575 last night at Haggle Online (www.haggle.com)
for just the chassis and cards. It didn't look like any of the cards were
original MITS, even the CPU was a Z80.

The prices are getting up there, but this is still less than an original
owner would have paid (even w/o adjusting for inflation since this box was
well-stuffed with S100 cards).

Besides the Apple 1, does anybody know of a computer system that has
actually appreciated in value? :-)
