  Why not get an Onyx2?  They've come down in price
a lot.  I was thinking

I suspect it's not the purchase price, but the electrickery costs.
 Just one module out of my O2K -- which is essentially the same machine
as an Onyx2 but without the graphics pipelines -- eats more than a
typical PDP in my collection.  They make excellent hair driers and
space heaters though.
