Well I originally got it for $200 off ebay, so maybe between $100 and 150.
I still need to consider if I should get rid of it or use it as a server
(i might be willing to part with it though).  But the Alpha can go.  Also
I'd lower the price of any part I have if you have any of those drives I'm
looking for ;) - the Ultra 2 has 256mb ram (8 sticks) and didn't come with
a hard drive (i provided one but I never had a drive tray for it).  It's a
Creator3D.

I also forgot to mention that I've got 2 128mb ram sticks that are Ultra 2
compatable, but the Ultra 2 will only allow ram in groups of 4 (has 16
slots total).  I bought the sticks off ebay and then found out that I
can't just throw 2 in, so I just gave up :( (blew about 80 bucks - ouch).
So I'll happily part with those chips too ;)
