I've actually got a VAXstation 3100 M76. It's fun to run it on the hardware, but most of these little VAXen have performance most charitably described as pedestrian.

Yeah they later ones aren’t priced to bad on eBay. You can occasionally find some minicomputers and some of the larger VAXStations but they tend to be a lot more especially considering it would have to ship freight.

I was tempted (but fortunately didn’t succumb) to buy the IBM 4000-series minicomputer my college was decommissioning in the 90s. It would have been both cool and an overwhelming burden to have this thing.
