[TriLUG] [OT] (potentially) seeking a sun e250 machine

[Brent Verner]

Sorry for the spam, and absolute offtopic-ness, but I really have
no other audience for this question... (yes, social disconnection
sucks sometime :-\)

I'm involved with a project that _requires_ a Sun E250 with the 
following (minimum) specs.
    1 300mhz cpu
    512M ram
    2 9G drives

I'm have zero-experience with (buying or otherwise) sun hardware, but
a quick ebay search yields many higer spec'd e250, that are selling
around $3000.  I can't afford to spend that much, especially for
a machine that is much more than what I need for this project; plus
the reality that this machine would likely become a dust collector 
after the project is done...  If anyone out there has a used e250 
with similar specs[1] as above, and are /trying/ to sell it, please 
contact me off-list with what you'd need to get for the box.

apologies && thanks,
  brent

[1] anything more than below would probably not be considered unless
    the price is a _lot_ less than other used prices I've seen. :-(
  1 450mhz cpu
  1G ram
