Bought this off Ebay a few nights ago for a mere $86US with shipping. A "bargain" compared to some of the most outrageous prices I've seen for this model. Seller stated the unit as parts or repair / untested and missing the power cord. Once I had it in my possession I gave a quick look over, and it was quite clear that this unit is in excellent cosmetic condition - No cracked plastic or screen. The only downside so far is the missing MCA expansion bus covers, and the fact that it won't POST. I suspect (and hope) that the reason it will not POST is due to the missing 6v lithium CMOS battery pack, which I noticed had gone MIA at some point in its life.
I will update this adventure when I have more information available, and more pictures will be provided in the near future. For now, I'll leave you with this:
[UPDATE]
Still no luck getting it to POST. I've pulled the power supply and dusted it out, checked for loose connections, reseated the CPU, hard drive, floppy drive, and video connections. While tearing it down, I determined it has the following specs:
CPU: Intel i386DX 20MHz
FPU: N/A
HDD: 60MB ESDI DBA
RAM: 4MB (2x2MB)
MCA expansion: empty
