I think $4k will probably be about as cheap as you can go - all the
low end unix boxes come in at about that mark (assuming US$4k ~
UK#2.5k) - at least for an educational purchase.

Wouldn't recommend one - unless you can find a very small lab.
Anyway, you can't have mine - all my equipment would get wet next time
