Hey, I know what that feels like. Closest thing I can remember to
Christmas morning as a little kid :-).

If I'm not mistaken, the chassis will be OK, but you'll need an 11/05
backplane and front panel.

Yep, the backplane you want will have a sticker saying "RK11-D" on it.

Standard Unibus cable connectors will do fine.
