At U. of Illinois the price for a 8 MB RAM 105 MB HD slab with floppy and mono 
display is $3498 plus freight ($40).  A similar color system (12 MB RAM) goes
for $5598.  Although the 105 is ridiculously small, I hear you can just use
this as a swap disk and then buy an external 660 MB SCSS hard disk (e.g., Wren)
for about $1300 from various mail order houses. 
The U.of.I prices for NeXT HD's are:

340 MB  $2097,  660 MB $2797, 1.4 GB $4197
