The stuff I have isn't all that antique or unique: Sun lunchboxes, SGI
Indigo2, HP X-terms. I use some of for "production" file-and-other-stuff
serving on my home-office network, and some for just screwing around.
FWIW, _all_ gear is "used" once you install it. Some is just more "used"
than others.
