Well, $3,575 seems too high:

rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

and even $300 (for a lesser system) didn't find any takers:

rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

I don't see any meaningful examples from recent sales on Ebay, but I think it
may wind up being on the wrong side (for you) of $1,000. Also, I suspect that
shipping it will be a *huge* problem, unless you have suitable packing
materials handy...

See:

A $910 E4500 with 8x 400 MHz CPUs, 2 GB RAM, no HDs and $100 S/H.

HTH,
