    I've got a six-rack AS/400 that is a complete system(although it has
about 80
terminal ports that I don't have the terminals for<grin>).  Even have some
3274's
that are with it.  Mind you, this system has OS/400, Officevision/400, PC
Support/400,
several languages worth of compilers and libraries, etc.

    Anyhow, should you want it, $1500 US takes it.  =)

P.S. - It even has manuals, a few 9-track tapes(including on IBM diagnostics
tape),
       a few tape cleaner kits, etc.
