I've been selling a couple for far less than that, R4400 150-200mhz,
64-128MB and XZ or "Elan" graphics... Actually I got one at a swap meet
this month with unknown graphics and some sort of SC-connector fiber card,
no RAM, 1gb disk, cdrom, for $25. I haven't gotten it to work yet, but you
can find them in some places fairly cheaply. 

On the other hand, there's a local place that wants $300 for an Indy that
doesn't even have the floptical. Dunno the specs, maybe it's got the Hans
and Franz treatment.

Wonder what kind of disk treatment I should give my keeper Indigo2. I've
seen hints that 7200rpm disks are too hot... Anyone have recent advice on
this? Or should I just go external?
