[geeks] IBM RS/6000 7012-3XX

[William S .]

I will be heading to a computer market tomorrow
in Amsterdam and am on the lookout for an
IBM RS/6000 7012-3XX type box.
I found quite a bit of technical information
at the IBM web site but was interested in a few
other details.

Assuming I find one:

1.  How important is it that it have a key?
2.  How important is it that it have media
    or able to boot up? (Can I download and install
    the appropriate version somewhere?)
3.  What is an approximate cash value?
4.  Are components easy to come by or should
    I really take a look to make sure everything
    is there?

Thank you,
