Yeah, i talked him down from $75 IIRC.  I paid more for each of the
pentium pro boxes i took home.  From that list of things i sent
yesterday:

large quad unmarked ppro (256mb ram, 4.3GB disk) $125
This puppy has 12 SCA drive bays, WITH brackets. 3 UW SCSI interfaces,
cd-rom, floppy, dds-? tape drive

compaq proliant 5000 (16mb ram, no disk, dual ppro, quad capable)  $75
cd-rom dds-? tape, room for 4 drives on compaq brackets (not included) 3
vrm's

aformentioned Onyx w/monitor $50

6' Sun rack $25

(3/4)/280 that was in the rack, and stack of misc. VME cards $15

I consider it a good haul.
