I have a 2 drawer / 4 processor ES47 system with the interprocessor
cables, but no rack hardware. The hardware was somewhat cheap enough,
the shipping was not. I really should have passed on it. I have
probably only powered it up less than a dozen times in the 5 years
I've had it. Too much hassle to set it up somewhere to use it.

The dual processor AS1200 system seems small and light in comparison,
while of course it is neither. I booted that up a month or so ago when
I needed access to a Tru64 system to mount a disc that I was unable to
mount anywhere else.
