Yup. Mine's like that, too. Just an '040, and a case that seems far too big 
for what's inside. If my "regular" 4000 was working I'd almost be inclined 
to use that instead - the T model looks a bit too much like a crazy 
mid-90's PC for my tastes (although the SCSI's nice).

Thoughts on this, incidentally? https://www.ebay.com/itm/254545704933
It's just an empty case, not even a complete machine, which claims to have 
sold. No PSU, no "middle" drive bay hardware. I wonder if a friend of the 
seller "bought" it and it was just a trick to drive up prices or something 
- $550 seems ridiculous for an empty box, but I don't "do" ebay and don't 
know how crazy people are or what kind of scams go on.

cheers
