That's about 155VUPs. The memory and CIXCD are high-cost
options, even on the used market. The 7650 itself is worth
about $8000 (including the XMI and BI). Add another $300
for the CIXCD (should be a -AC for the 7000 series), and
$1000 for the DEMFA (if the FDDI controller is XMI). The
memory is worth about $2000 (based on what a 2GB card for
the 7000 series cost). That brings a total of about $11300,
which all packaged should be about an even $11000.

Of course, if you are getting this from a place that is
dumping it and not a reseller, you might be able to get
it for next to nothing, if they don't know what they have.
