Not to burst your bubble, but *this* is probably the only way to go.

BeBoxen are like golden hen's teeth to find, even in parts.

IIRC, there's a list of BeBox owners out there, tracking where each  
machine currently resides in the world. That would be your best bet to  
start.

-one quick google later-

  http://www.bebox.nu/registry.php?s=registry/beboxnames

Try there first, just FYI though, this hasn't been updated since 2003.

Good luck! I always liked the blikenlights on BeBoxen.
