Sometimes, it's really strange how things work out. One of these just got
sent out to Purdue's surplus Op the same day Dan sent out his first email
(in fact, I think I got back to campus in time to recieve the message).
Well, I've decided to go back and get it, and am working on taking
pictures of it. I've got a somewhat blurry shot of the front available
at:
http://purdueriots.com/compcollect/aspect3k/
I'm going to try to take better pictures of it in a few minutes. I'm not
sure what I want to do with it yet, if you're interested, feel free to
contact me; it's also got a (250lb?) CDC fixed/removable platter disk
drive. There were barely any cables left on it, and everything that
wasn't a power cable was just cut off. Sometime, it just pisses me off
how they treat stuff that's going out to salvage/surplus to try to be
resold. Gah.
I'll post further pictures up at the url above.
