Ever thought of donating it to a museum? I mean, I don't see much use in it, apart from showing it to your grandchildren someday.

  There aren't many computer museums around Alabama, and it was cost prohibitive to ship it anywhere as it weighed close to 2000 lbs. Anyways, I was able to find a buyer at $700, and the guy even came and picked it up :)

    2000 lbs? Holy crap. Where was all the weight? Did they use a 1/4 in steel case or something?

      The case was pretty thick, maybe not 1/4in but about 2-3mm. A lot of the weight came from the power supplies though, it had 3 48V monstrosities that put out a total of 1900W IIRC. Plus there were disk carriages, a squirrel cage cooling fan, and about what seemed like 100 boards that connected to a common "backplane" for IO and power. It added up to be pretty heavy.
