One of the places I visit gets a lot of servers, mostly fairly new off
lease stuff way too expensive for me, but they also get a fair amount of
old things like these IBM PowerPC servers. I need to add a new category to
my collecting like a hole in the head, but they are kind of available and I
am fairly curious about them, but I don't have a clue about what I should
be looking for or paying.

Any links or comments on the IBM desktop sized server line? I am fairly up
to speed through the last of the MCA machines, ie server 300 or 500?, but
then what?

What would make a good machine to collect?

Any specfics on things like keyboards etc. I should be looking for?
