Mmmm....

Ohh... I would *LOVE* to have a box like that.  That movie is one of 
my favorites.  Is this in a terminator rack or a twin tower?

>Plus tons of parts, including monitors.

I could use some SGI monitors, if this goes off anybody want to sell one?

4k/20=200/box.  Thats not bad for an RE box.  (Bare REs go for twice 
that)  Its a DEAL but hard to get.  I would be interested but I can't 
do it right now.  If we all split them I could handle that though.
