Depending on how much money you have, I'd recommend finding either a
43P-150, a 43P-260, or a 44P-170 (all desktops/towers).  Those are in
the $200, $500, and $1k range, respectively, last I checked.  If you
don't mind a deskside, F50s are nice systems, too.

Rackmounts tend towards the expensive, but, if you can find a B50, those
are just 43P-150 systems in a rackmount case, and should be fairly
inexpensive.

Nothing other than a 43P-150 or F50 will run AIX 5.2, unfortunately.
