[SunRescue] Upper limit for a nice Ultra-1 set...

[Chris Petersen]

Chris, Ken:

I've gotta agree with Chris, $700 is on the high end for a 1/170.  In fact,
if this is just a 170 (and not a 170E), then it's probably beyond the high
end.  If it's a 170E (sorry, the corporate cops here at my current site
don't allow eBay), then it's not bad considering the RAM, but really should
be at least a Creator 2D box.

On the top-end, I would agree with Chris - A 1/200E decked out w/ 512mb of
RAM, 2x4.3, Creator 3D, CDROM would be worth at least $1000, maybe even a
touch more.  I've got a 1/200E w/ 128mb of RAM, 9.1 & 4.3gb disks, Creator
2D, CDROM right now which I traded approx. $1100 worth of equipment for
about 6-7 months ago, if that gives you any ideas.

Chris
