Someone spent way too much for a brochure.

Guilty as charged. OTOH. I figure the market for NeXT stuff is so small that things are worth exactly what any one person will pay for it. So now, that brochure is worth $135... if anyone else has one, they have a baseline price.

Based on the Ebay list you have had recently I thought you were trimming down!
Nice system you have currently posted though.
Judging by the price now, in a few days in will be priced way out of my range.

I am trying to thin out the herd a little bit... removing things from my personal collection so I can start sorting through a bunch of other stuff. I'm going to hold onto some of the more special boxes (pyros, ex-NeXT boxes, etc). I will have more things going up over time.

That particular unit is very nice... an early cube in great shape with the maxtor drive etc. The 2.0 install seems to have a version of httpd on there. I was very tempted to put a working MO drive in there just to complete the package, but I think the people buying cubes right now wouldn't appreciate that. After all, the Turbo Dimension I sold went for as much as a mono cube...

I was able to pick up a very nice and all original Cube Dimension with mo for 650.00 recently.
My goal is to buil a exact replica of Tim Berners-Lee's machine.
I have all the exact componants now, I was even able to download the source for his WWW to load.
That, I think would be very cool.
