I tried (and failed).
Once I got to college, the basement of my dorm had a computer shop that specialized in x86 NeXTStep hardware. I tried to find a way to make that work too, but the costs were just too high. You didn't need just a 486DX2/66, it had to have EISA, 32MB RAM, lots of SCSI disk, and the like. It was easily a $6-7K proposition.
