You just have to look in the right place. I've seen 3 595's go through
Purdue's salvage op in the past year... One I got, one I gave to a
friend, and one that was quite trashed and sitting in a dumpster when I
found it :(.

I've been looking for a well-priced 595 for a while. Although a
newish rack model would do too. Doc Shipley wrote:
Yes, and by the well-known principle of "like attracts like", I
now have 2 of them. The second has 2GB RAM, FWD SCSI, and 10/100
ethernet. It and an F40 cost me $50. I can attest to that. Pat Finnegan shipped me
a 7013-591 last
year. It's a deskside POWER RS/6000, roughly the size of a DEC
BA123 chassis. It's a reinforced composite frame, so much lighter
than a BA123.
That's a *very* nice machine. That's the IBM plastic which is
stronger than steel. 8-)
