I bought one from them last year... F330 with 128MB DRAM, 4MB NVSIMM, quad
ethernet. I still haven't gotten disks for it, although I do finally have
an enclosure. Well, the disks in the alphaserver at work work with it, and
I have a half-high storageworks enclosure filled with 1GB disks waiting
for me at a friend's company, but I'm not sure that 32 1GB disks will be
worth the power draw. 

If you want a cheap one, I have one in Austin TX or thereabouts that's for
sale. Need to check with the guy who showed interest a few months ago
first, but if not, it's an F330 with no ram and 2MB NVSIMMs, and I think I
have a quad ethernet card for it. Contact me offlist if you're interested.
Someday I may break down and sell the one I have here... but I have faith
that I'll find some supported disks. :)
