I'd almost be interested in a gutted 360 if the front panel was intact!

Speaking of big iron, what's the best place to look for DEC10s or 20s? Maybe even a 360/20?
I think a 360/90 would be neat but the CPU and cooling would fill my garage.

That is why I put in all of those "assumes". I know planning such a trip
is almost impossible for those of us that have lives/families/jobs. I just
wanted to see just how far some of us would take the hells of the
Interstates.

Incidently, I do not drive the Interstates much, as there are not many
junkyards along them. US routes, on the other hand, have them. If anyone
wants a pair of gutted S/360s, I will show them just where along Illinois
1 to find them!
