Thanks

The reason I asked is that there is a guy here in Australia selling a four node alpha cluster on EBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2030476807

He says on th auction ad that the nodes are for sale individually for 260USD (divide the Aussie dollars by 2 to get the rough price) and I know that I can sell my PWS 500a for more than that.

I'll have to double-check that the nodes can run Tru64 - but I'd love to get the 600MHz 21164A node.
