I got a Multia surplus in '99. I've had it sitting in the shipping box ever since. I keep meaning to get it out and tinker with it but never have. I had one Customer in the late 90's w/ an Alpha-based application (based on SQL Server under Windows NT on an Alpha Server 5305). As a tech who had only used x86-based servers up to that point I found the machine to be very easy to setup and use. It just felt like a strange PC. (I knew it was different-- one look inside was enough to tell that-- but it didn't feel tremendously different than, say, a fat and heavy dual Pentium Pro-based system from Intel in a similar chassis.)
