From: pechter(a)shell.monmouth.com Subject: Interesting item on eBay web site item#32203160: DEC MicroVax 3300 Mini Main Frame.L@@K.(pics) X-Mailer: <smsmtp> I saw this item for sale at eBay. Any idea what this is -- is it a MicroVax, an Alpha? I'd love to bid on a MicroVax... but I'm unsure since the guy doesn't even have the DEC number on the box. (Probably picked it up for free...) Title of item: DEC MicroVax 3300 Mini Main Frame.L@@K.(pics) Seller: wizardworkz(a)netscape.net Starts: 09/24/98 21:40:34 PDT Ends: 10/01/98 21:40:34 PDT Price: Currently $157.50 To bid the item, go to: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=32203160 Item Description: DEC MICROVAX 3300 - Mini Main Frame - Alpha Server -

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words... Well, there you are, several pics that I think will explain a little bit anyhow.... I wish I could sit here and tell you all about this monster server but I can't because I'm no technical genius with servers (As a matter of fact this thing tends to just SERIOUSLY intimidate me). It came into my possession during the same commercial real estate purchase that the ALR server in my other auction came in.... BUT,THIS ONE RUNS NOW, AND IS COMPLETELY FUNTIONAL!!!!! SOME THINGS ABOUT IT THAT I CAN TELL YOU .... There is information available on this thing in several locations on the web. It was IN USE when the business moved. It is VERY heavy. It is a VERY popular machine amongst hackers due to it's abilities and the fact that it is virtually impossible to hack into "IT"....or so I have read. It is an extremely stable system which will run UNIX. If I knew how to set this badboy up I wouldn't even think to sell it- :) BUYER PAYS SHIPPING...UPS GROUND. (should be around $60.00) It's VERY heavy. NO PERSONAL CHECKS..Money Order or Cashiers Check Only. Unfortunately because I am not able to set this thing up due to my lack of knowledge I can't very well guarantee it. Therefore it is being sold AS IS. Know what you are bidding on and bid appropriately. I have set a reserve on this item BUT it is low for what the item is. (I'm not crazy,I know this thing sold for quite a chunk new.)
