Well, I'm always interested in things.  I just don't want to go
committing to too much up front.

OK, we know these things have no ram and no harddrives.  Do they even
have CPUs and power supplies?  Let me look again.

#1. NETRA-NFS-150RV1 (NETRA FFS WS -HDD/Memory removed),
#2. 610-2650-01 (Ultra Enterprise 150- HDD/Memory removed),
#3. E150-UBA-1R-CB (Ultra Enterprise 150 -HDD/Memory removed),
#4. 600-4081-01 (NETRA FFS WS-HDD/Memory removed/no internal hdd),
#5. 1-3.1-1150R (NETRA FFS WS-HDD/Memory removed),
#6. NETRA-NFS-150RV11 (NETRA FFS WS -HDD/Memory removed),
#7. NETRA-NFS-150RV11 (no components), 
#8. NETRA-NFS-150RV11 (no components). 

So, 7&8 are possibly just a case and mobo.  None of them have disks or
ram.  They are untested as is, and the seller doesn't look like he
will allow local pickup.

It sounds like more trouble than its worth, unless these machines are
better than I think they are (they are glorified U1s, aren't they?)
