 Just taking the keyboard and nametag is not
preservation, but trophying.
But while I discourage the wanton disregard for the actual hardware, which
is really the part that's worth preserving, I realize not everyone has the
facilities to store such a large artifact.  I suggest you try to find
someone in your area who is capable of and willing to store the beasts.
 Two things please: 1..Alex posted this message since he doesn't want
to canabalilize so we need not give him that advice and more importantly,
2..Alex found it, he is a collector not a preservationist, so he can do what he
wants. We should appreciate the notice without, what I read as, criticism.

p.s. sorry for the original half-done post.

Yours in good faith.
