I have two complete units at my desk, including one I still use on a 
regular basis and I ended up giving about 4 away to friends and family. No 
room to store the massive 21" monitors.

Matter of fact, the one I use at home is the one I used at my desk at work 
until about 2 years ago when I was moved to a smaller desk and no longer 
had room for it. It was NeXTSTeP that made me finally take a look at MacOS 
X. Haven't gone back since. 

Although, as John (?) pointed out in the start, they're still not worth
much more than scrap. Especially when you consider the original price
these things sold at, they've got a long, long way to apprechiate in
value. On the other hand, between Sun buying 'em wholesale and melting
them down 10 years ago and snotnosed PC mod kids gutting them and
polishing the magnesium cases to a mirror shine, the numbers are definatly
going to continue dwindling.

I need a cube, though.
