11/34 with drives on ebay

I concur. My methodology for _accurately_ valuing something like this is to create as comprhensive a list of sub-items as possible, then value them, and then add it up; something like this: $A Bare H960 $B 2 x H960 side panels $C BA11-K (box and power supply) $D BA11-K slides $E DD11-PK backplane $F PDP-11/34 CPU boards $G MS11-L $H 4 x RL02 drives $I 15 x RL02 packs etc etc. Alas, the listing doesn't say exactly which boards are in the 11/34 (and not even any pictures of the insides). I don't know exactly how much $A, etc are - I have varying levels of experience with these things, but for instance, I know that MS11-L's are much desired, and command high prices. Note that the listing does have a reserve, so their actual asking price is above $5K. Getting that total out of one bidder may be a bit too far; they might have better luck getting it sold if it was a couple of smaller lots. Noel
