I'd almost be interested in a gutted 360 if the front panel was intact!
Speaking of big iron, what's the best place to look for DEC10s or 20s? Maybe even a
360/20?
I think a 360/90 would be neat but the CPU and cooling would fill my garage.

My problem is not so much distance as it is time.
I'd gladly do a week-end
trip to, say, Los Angeles (~500 miles), for most anything, if I didn't have
to spend the time a) working, b) with my dad, c) with my girlfriend or d)
sleeping (ha!).
That is why I put in all of those "assumes". I know planning such a trip
is almost impossible for those of us that have lives/families/jobs. I just
wanted to see just how far some of us would take the hells of the
Interstates.
Incidently, I do not drive the Interstates much, as there are not many
junkyards along them. US routes, on the other hand, have them. If anyone
wants a pair of gutted S/360s, I will show them just where along Illinois
1 to find them!
