It's helpful that HP was displaying them.  Pointers:

Question: Are the 720's actually useful today with HP-UX 10.20 or Linux?  I 
have enough parts to assemble four 720 systems, and was wondering if the 
effort was worthwhile.  We've had one on display for a year in our recycling 
operation and there has been no interest.
