Out of curiousity, I took a look at ebay to see what Centris/Quadra 610s
were going for. $75 seemed to be the normal to high end for a Quadra 610-
most of those in the stock 8/230 configuration. Prices seemed
commensurately lower for a Centris 610 with high bids on some stripped
(4/0) configurations going as low as $33.

Okay, so maybe it's the year of the $50 '040. :-)
