I'd love to, since I am actually looking for a /84, but shipping
would kill us. You should be able to get a BA123 chassis for
cheap, though, and the rest is "standard" stuff of which I have
zillions of spares (memory, rqdx3/rd5x/rx50, kda50-compatible
ESDI controllers, serial, ethernet, etc)

You can power a 9766 on regular 110, although it will pull a bit.
But, if you want to connect that to the /84 or /x3, you'll need
a Unibus or Qbus SMD controller- probably an Emulex or Dilog.
I *know* I have some Dilog's for that which I don't use, since
I stopped doing SMD a few years back...
