use that instead - the T model looks a bit too much like a crazy mid-90's

The 4000T has IDE! I have one of those CF card to IDE boards on a back
expansion slot, allowing it to be removed.
Well, it has IDE *as well*. ;-) Mine's running a SCSI hard disk and CDROM
drive. It's a 2GB disk with a wide interface, incidentally, then a
narrow-to-wide adapter affixed to that to allow it to be used in the
machine - I suppose it's possible it left the factory like that, but far
more likely that a previous owner upgraded it. I've not been able to find
anything that tells me what stock 4000T storage options were (although the
Wikipedia entry for the 4000 desktop claims those just had a 120MB disk)
Thoughts on this, incidentally? https://www.ebay.com/itm/254545704933
It's just an empty case, not even a complete machine, which claims to
have sold. No PSU, no "middle" drive bay hardware. I wonder if a friend
of the seller "bought" it and it was just a trick to drive up prices or
something - $550 seems ridiculous for an empty box, but I don't "do" ebay
and don't know how crazy people are or what kind of scams go on.
That is crazy. To buy something to "mark to market" the price real high ...
you would still have to pay the crazy eBay fees.
Yeah, it's weird. Mind you I was doing some poking around and A4000
desktop/tower parts prices seem to generally be insanely high across the
board.
