If I was still in BNE I'd grab it. Great for someone who wants to play
with *nix on non-IA32 hardware. This box will run Solaris (but maybe not
the latest versions), Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD (IIRC) and others OSes. It
is easy to install any OS through the serial console.
I have a similar box I used to develop a moderately large web dev project
earlier this year so they are still useful :)

Any idea how much RAM, or if it has 1 or 2 CPUs?
Mine has a single 50MHz cpu and 128MB RAM. Apart from ssh taking a while
to connect (using RSA) I don't notice the speed at all.

This alone is useful.
