    So the questions:
   Can anybody point me to pictures of an 11/93 that's NOT in a BA23? 
 The BA23 is rackmountable.  Maybe it is a rack with two PDP11/93's in
 it.

    What's it worth, obsession aside? It's
probably going to cost me about
 $0.50/lb, USD.  That's delivered to my garage.  I'm guessing that's in
 the $200 realm. 
 I think, the 11/93 is a 20mhz J11 CPU.  I've seen the 18mhz J11 cpu go
 for well over $100 on Ebay, so I'd think the 11/93's cpu would be worth
 quite a bit.  Plus, I don't usually hear of the 11/93 on this list, so
 that may mean that they are one of the more rare PDP11's.  Comments
 anyone? 
Maybe it is a dual-box BA23 system.  You can tell by looking at
the back of the box(es) where the dual-box system has one (6U) back
cover spanning the two boxes.

Does the rack have extra-thick side panels with cooling fans in them?
That would be the "elephant ears" add-on which was typical for such
a system.
