Figured I would make it official and place a post in the marketplace. ;)
TurboColor stations, mostly with 32M ram and 540M hard disks. Comes with an ADB keyboard, mouse, soundbox, and Y-cable. If you do not need peripherals (or do not like the ADB stuff), I will sell the slabs alone as well. The system comes with NS3.3+y2k installed, but I can upgrade it to OS4.2 if you prefer. At this point I am not selling individual peripherals, as I want to make sure I have enough to cover those who want a complete system.
I am going to put some of them up on ebay, but I wanted to give those in here a chance to get some without the ebay hassle. My forum email box is full, so please send inquiries to dvdchef AT gmail.com so I do not miss any messages.

Is NS3.3 user or dev?

user currently, as user+dev+patches I think would be a pretty tight install on a 540M drive. I will dig up my 3.3 dev disk and give it a try on one just to see.
Chef
Please let me know because I would be very interested.

A complete install of NS3.3 and Developer will fit, but not really. It leaves less than 1M free on the drive, which NS is not very happy about. I guess a custom install of NS would be required that skipped the languages and other extras in order to make this work. Is there a way to remove the extra languages from NS without having to reinstall?

For those who do not know yet, I have decided to sell these for $100 + shipping. This gets you a TurboColor with 32M ram and a 540M hard disk loaded with a fresh install of NS3.3 or OS4.2 with y2k patch, and an ADB soundbox keyboard mouse Y-cable setup. Packaging and Shipping in the continental US by UPS with insurance and signature/delivery confirmation runs $20-$30. If you do not want the peripherals, just the slab will go for $60 + shipping.
You know where to find me with questions, comments, or orders :)

For those who are interested, here is another thread on the forum discussing the adapters needed to hook these up to a standard vga monitor connector.

All this stuff, and still no next cdrom. :(
If anyone is interested, I will trade one of my ColorTurbo slabs for a working NeXT external cdrom.
Chef
Just to make it clear, since some have asked, I will be including a copy of the NS3.3 cd with each system I sell. These are not original disks, so do not get too excited. This way you can re-install the systems if necessary in the future.

Just wanted to say thanks to the "Chef" for a great machine. I received my NeXTStation Turbo Color today in great condition, and I'm already have fun playing with it. Brings back fond University memories. Thanks!

Thanks for the plug :D And I am glad to hear it arrived safe and sound, and you are getting some enjoyment out of it. I probably went a little overboard on the packing, but better to be safe than sorry when dealing with shipping carriers.
Chef
I'm never going to be able to get one of those :( Still waiting on that blasted car title... *sigh*
I just recieved my system too and I loved it! Thanks so much!

One step closer to that macbook pro :D

Actually I was wondering if anyone knew if those cables from DeepSpaceCables.com work well with the NeXTstation? They're really well priced!

Which cables are you looking at? I just used the adapter plus gender changer info mentioned in the other thread (referenced above) to get it working on my Acer LCD.
