Well I ended up winning it for $51.  It's gonna cost me another $60 or so 
to get it sent over, but provided it works, I'll still be happy.  Now to 
find a faster CPU, if only the one in the Multia wasn't soldered in...

Undoubtedly better, but he wasn't willing to accept international bids, 
otherwise I might have gone for it.  Don't think I would have gone as high 
as the final bidder did though ($101).

Hopefully this will now this will start the "rescued server affinity 
phenomenon" (TM) and it'll attract bigger, better, faster alphas to my 
empire.  It worked with Suns, SGIs, PPros and Aironet kit, so I'm ever so 
hopeful.
