I think the Tandy 2000 is, in technical terms, a very cool computer. I
had one for a while but I didn't have the keyboard for it so I couldn't
use it.
Does anyone have one of these heavy bastards in functional condition? I
know of several partial 2000's but I don't know of anyone who has a
complete setup.

I used to have several of these (both color and mono ones, and
both
with and without the hard disk option) and yes, they were WAY cool,
and much faster than XT's. I used them in my Minix days; one of the
first things I did was port Minix to them :)
I can still get some, I believe..

How do you define "complete"? I have one that worked before it went in the
box and on the shelf, but I probably don't have every peripheral ever made
for it.

Well, I was thinking of "more" complete than the one that I had.
Specifically, it would include the monitor AND keyboard, both of which
were proprietary to the Tandy 2000 alone. I guess an operating system
would be good to have, too. I'm not sure of how much more there was.
Mine had the internal hard drive and controller card. In fact, I still
have the video cable around here somewhere. I don't know why I saved it?
I was only curious to know if any working 2000 were still around. I am
only interested in collecting Apple II clones these days but there are
some computers, like the 2000, that I still have a soft spot for. A
Gimex Ghost or Luxor ABC 80 are two others (drool.)

One of the other auctions from this guy has the monitor (no cable, though).

Alas, shipping one of those monitors would likely be a nightmare...
