If they'll give you a working 21" monitor at no extra charge, it's a great
deal. Seriously, what is included? If it's only the motherboard and two
cpu's, I'd say it's a little to expensive for such an "ancient" system.
I'm not exactly sure of what the prices for a cheap dual-mb (with no
onboard scsi) and two fairly fast cpu's is at today, but I can't imagine
that it's much more than $500. But if you're loaded and nostalgic, it could be fun.
