Just to add my $.02 worth:

If at all possible, try to buy a used machine. That's how I got my
Cube. I bought a used 030 Cube, and put 3rd party 660 meg hard drive
in it. Then I used edu discounts to buy 040 board and printer. And
now I just bought some used memory (yes, you really can find that).

In fact, now that I think of it...Someone want to tell me how much
this system would be worth:

	040 Cube
	Optical Drive
	660 Maxtor Hard drive
	NeXT printer
	6 Optical Disks
	System 2.1
	28 MB RAM
	Dove Fax Modem
	FrameMaker
	TopDraw
	SoftPC
	T/Maker's Click Art on Optical

I'm curious, but if the price is right...

Thanks,
MikeC
