HP700?

The HP 700 series were/are graphical workstations. They are virtually
identical to the 800 series (the business servers) except they were
repackaged for the workstation market. Unix (HP-UX) OS. PA-RISC cpu's. Parts
of the 700 series might still be in production. Getting a power supply from
a scrap/surplus dealer wouldn't be all that easy, but not impossible. You
can probably still buy a power supply for it from HP.
