Wow, the possibilities are endless, is your account balance unlimited?
I assume you want a "workstation" rather than a "server". 

System:         DECstation 5000/240
Graphics board: TurboPXG+
Memory:         At least 32MB, 128MB preferred, but can go up to 480MB
Disk:           At least 1GB (from DEC or 3rd party)
Peripherals:    DAT or Exabyte, CDROM, Optical disk (from DEC or 3rd party)
Option:         Turbochannel expansion box with an extra SCSI card, a 
                video, sound or any other Turbochannel option.
                Also get a Prestoserve board.
Software: Most DEC software is free to universities. If you want to make
          use of the PXG board, get AVS which is not free. Also C++ is not free
          Subscribe to the CDROM consolidated software distribution service :-)

Upgrade:  Get a guaranteed upgrade price to Alpha and keep some of the
          money to pay for this at the end of the year.
