The UT Microcenter educational price for the NeXTstation that retails for
$4995 is $3370.  Note that the prices that you referenced are the
unbundled prices and do not include the monochrome display ($785) or the
required starting point kit ($175).  The actual price is probably pretty
close to what you would have to pay at U of A.  The only people that
can buy from the UT microcenter are full time UT students or faculty
(not that anyone else would want too :-).
