I don't know if that would really be worth it at a price of $70
apiece.  If no disk, then you probably need to locate the drive sleds
as well.

Today, I received via UPS my Indigo2, Solid Impact/R10k-195Mhz-1MB L2
cache machine, with 4GB HDD, 128MB RAM and 6.5.10 or 12 loaded.  It
cost $360 with shipping on an Ebay "buy it now".

Runs great.  Much nicer than my iMac, 333Mhz - which I sold for $600
and is being replaced by the SGI.

Cordially
