Sorry if this system is still off topic...
I have a full set of guts for the 2-CPU version of the Digital AlphaServer
4100. No CPUs, no memory, no expansion boards, no fans, no PSUs, no disks,
but all the other parts that could be removed, down to the little metal
clips that make an electrical connection between the case and the cover.

Here's what happened: I got 2 of incomplete systems in the early 2000s,
and put them away to play with 'later'. Then I had to move, so I decided I
could keep just one. I took out everything in the less complete system
that could be removed, and boxed it up. The more complete one went in the
basement of the new house. Fast forward 2 years or so: there's a flood in
the basement, and the 'good' AS4100 dies under a foot of water :-( By the
time the basement dried out enough to get to it, it was so rusted I was
unable to open the case. It did, however, save the lives of a half-dozen
other machines that were stacked on top of it.
For some reason I kept hanging on to the box of spare parts... I have no
way of using these, so I figure I sould give them to someone who can.
They're yours for the cost of shipping from 27606; it's about 5-6 pounds
all told (I'm guessing, I don't have a scale).
