I have an Ultra 60 in the basement sitting idle... It's a dual 366/4,  
1GB of RAM, 9GB (I think...) disk no cd-rom, Creator 3D (which I  
thought was damaged but appears to work now).  It will probably never  
be used as an Ultra 60 again...(though I did use it to format disks  
on my fibre channel array).  I think one CPU is bad.  I will probably  
use the parts to make a rocking E220R.  It was free... I was  
scavenging hardware from the basement of the bank my company works  
for... I signed out a few of my machines from the graveyard.  (RS/ 
6000 F50, Ultra 60, Proliant 6400R)
