Ok, we've had threads similar to this one before,

What are the hardest to find Classic Computers?
The Digital Group systems get my vote. I've only *heard* of about 3, since
being on this list, which is a while. Maybe because no-one is looking? I
can't even imagine finding a full-up system, with several CPU boards,
Phi-deck tape drives, and matching cabinets for the monitor, system unit,
and tape drives, not to mention all the OS's and other software... well,
maybe I can imagine it...
Also not intended as the thrust of the topic:
Systems you most of all want
oops. But maybe there is some overlap?

Yep, I'd agree here too. I have one complete system, and aside from that,
the only other one I've ever seen was a kit sold at VCF 2.0 (or was it
3.0)?
It was Chuck McManis' first computer I think (and he claims to not regret
it :)
