value, and is anyone interested?
If it's a 590, I'm definitely interested. No idea what it'd be
worth though.

He wants $50. Would you say it's worth that?

If it has at least 2 populated memory boards, the SCSI adapter, a tape
drive or CD drive, an ethernet card, and at least 2 drive sleds, I'd say
yes. If it's a 590, and not obvously damaged, yes period. But then,
you already know I'm biased.
Warning, Will Robinson. These guys have a keyboard fuse and
mouse-port fuse on the I/O planar. I've gotten 2 550's and a 530 cheap
because the keyboard fuses were blown, so I guess it's not uncommon. It
is a Royal Purple Pain In The Butt to get to that fuse.
But still worth it.

I've seen maybe 4 590s go across eBay, all well-loaded with options.
The least I've seen one go was around $450. When you consider the
shipping on that bad boy, $450 is pretty impressive.
Mostly, when they're decommissioned, somebody takes them home. They
just don't come available much at all.

They're stupid fast. I'd rather have a 390H, though. Faster and smaller.
