I don't remember if this has been mentioned before, but what about
Domain/OS (is that what this machine runs)?

Seems reasonably priced at $99.99
On the plus side:
?1) it's the cleanest looking 3000 I've ever seen,
?2) the seller's mention of video connectors shouldn't be an issue; it
shouldn't prove a problem for any PC workstation display that supports SoG I
would think.
On the minus side:
?1) hard disk and/or PSU and/or all manner of esoteric parts might be
faulty,
?2) I don't see any mention (surprise, surprise) of a Domain keyboard in the
auction listing - what a pain if the seller actually does have it ("re-PC"
suggests an equipment recycler) and have managed to lose it amongst a pile
of other non-Apollo keyboards! :-(
... my gut feeling is that $50 would be nearer the mark for something that's
untested and is missing its keyboard; it'd be good for someone who already
had a complete DN3000 and wanted to make up a nice, working example along
with a spares cache.
(wonder where the seller got it from if they are just a recycler? The
machine looks to have an ATR network board, and I bet it was rare anyway for
a site to just buy a single Apollo - wherever it came from probably had a
few originally)
