(this is NOT a repost, but a post for another system - the first one went
in 1/2 an hour!)
For Sale :

This is a BRAND NEW computer (sealed box, unopened software, etc.).  It's
ready to run out of the box (w/the addition of a monitor).

The system is:

Compaq Professional Workstation 5000
-------------------------------------
Dual PentiumPro 200Mhz/256K L2 Cache (yes, that's TWO cpus)
128 MB EDO ECC RAM
ELSA Gloria-L 3-D graphics controller (8MB VRAM + 8MB DRAM Z
buffer)
UW SCSI controller (on board)
4.3 GB Ultra-Wide SCSI drive (Compaq branded Seagate Barracuda)
Autosensing Netelligent 10/100 TX UTP/Coax Controller (on board)
SB16 compatible sound (on board)
8X CD-ROM (IDE)
1.44 MB, 3.5" Floppy
Keyboard, mouse
Microphone
NT Workstation 4.0


COST: $1300.00 OBO

(A year ago these things were selling for >$5000,  and Compaq is now
selling exactly the same system for $1999 at www.compaqworks.com)

This system is great for number crunching, CAD work, 3-D rendering, or
other fpu intensive operations.  The speed on FPU intensive stuff is
roughly equivalent to a PentiumII-400MHZ machine (see
http://www.lucas3d.com/bench3d/html/mes-tests-max-in.html) for some
benchmarks.

Would prefer to sell in the Chicago area but will ship for added shipping
charges.
