Fine, I have to disagree with this sorting a bit.

Not cheap, unless you find someone who hasn't discovered ebay yet.
I have some 11/44's and 11/84's that can go fairly cheap (well as far as
unibus system go). I also have 11/05's and 11/10's that depending upon
configurations start at ~$500.
I also have a "real" 11/83 (ie not an 11/53 that was upgraded) that can
go for ~250 or so.
PDP-8[E,F,M,a] omnibus
Ditto,
Good luck!

VAX (78x series, )
Maybe harder to find, but also relatively cheap if you do. The last two
that I got from ebay were $60 (three years ago) and $200 (this year),
respectively. I haven't seen ANY -8 go for less than about $1500, and
any Unibus-11 is going to be well over $200, with toggles, probably no
less than $800 for a /5 or /10, or $1k+ for anything that has an MMU
(and speed).
Though, I know there's at least one person on the list (though not
geographically near you) who has 11/780s that they told me that they
want to part with. I don't want to post who, just in case. :)
I also have some 11/780, 11/780-5 and 11/785 that we can talk about. :-)
I'm in San Jose California.
