I forgot to add that the BA chassis only supports processors up to and including 400MHz. You need the (more expensive) CA chassis to use the (unbelievably expensive) 480MHz processors. 

A used CA chassis with four 480MHz processors (no disks, no RAM) will fetch around 7,000USD on the open market.

Gavin
