Point taken.
I have had fairly good luck in physical auctions - snagged a near-complete#
Jupiter Ace for ?2. Then I went and knocked the PSU cable and blew up nearly
every chip on the mainboard (Lesson #1: Buy a PSU with interchangeable
connectors, instead of those "spiderplug" things)...
Better still, get one with the right connector or just
buy the one plug and attach it to another PS.
