On the dirt cheap end you can go for a VS3100 series system, though I'd
recommend something like a VAXstation 4000/vlc as a minimum personally.
The VAXstation 4000/60's and 90's are pretty nice. However, anymore I tend
to consider a DEC Alpha the way to go. My main system is a DEC PWS 433au.

Someone has a DCL shell you can get, it's a commercial product, but you can
download the shell for personal use.
