I'd rather liquidate then have to look at them. I'm trying to purchase an Alpha system now. Just something to play with. But those damn things are expensive. Right now I am keeping a close eye on an ebay auction that has the follow Alpha for sale: Dual 667mhz with 4MB cache on each chip. (21264 CPU's) 2GB RAM 7 Seagate Barracuda HD's, 18.2MB each (Ultra 2 SCSI, 7200RPM) UP2000 mobo 2 network cards A generic video card Rack mount case It was $16,700 new. If it doesn't go much higher, I will more than likely get it. Should be interesting. Slate
