[SunRescue] New batch of Alphas has arrived...

[Chris Petersen]

Well, as hoped, I've been able to pull the next batch of Alpha hardware
in and get it ready for sale.  Thanks again to everyone for all the response
on the first batch of gear.  Still entertaining trades, I'm looking for some
Ultra 30s at the moment in particular :)  

Oh, and special thanks to Bill for allowing me to post this to the lists - 
I'm not a reseller, just a guy with a basement full of hardware, and this 
venue allows me to get this stuff out to the general enthusiast community 
the quickest and easiest by far!  For the curious out there, being a
consultant in the Engineering Software arena allows me to work with
workstation gear day in and day out, and occasionally I can get my hands on
hardware that's coming off lease or out of service and pass it on to others
who might be interested.  Unfortunately, this is usually a step above the
"rescue" category, as off-lease equipment *almost always* has a price tag
associated with it!  

In this case, this latest batch of Alpha hardware comes from the same source
as the last batch, a former employer of mine who's made the unfortunate
decision to switch to the NT platform.  Hence, these barely 2-yr old
workstations are now up for sale!  This batch jumps up into the realm 
of higher-end hardware, here's the specs:

Finally, be sure to keep an eye on auctions.workstations.org, some of this
gear will be popping up there from time-to-time on special as well. 
Currently there's some 3000 series hardware up.  I doubt the 600au's will
show up there, there's only a real small handful of these at the moment, and
hopefully they'll go quickly.  Actually, if you'd be interested in a large
RAM configuration, it's best to check with me early, as my RAM supply to
build these configurations is *very* limited.
