Possible NeXT conquest....
I am so pumped! I found a complete NeXT setup sans the monitor cable for $20. I am second in line to buy it. I am hoping the first buyer falls through...
Wish me luck!

Good luck! What models you are looking at?
It's a first generation model, if I'm not mistaken. Here's a picture of the actual setup -
Holy moses! All that for $20? With the SCSI drive. That's a deal of a lifetime if it works (or even, if not)!
I wish you luck!

8-o Dunno what I'd do with one though, I'm not a 'NIXie and I don't really want to get under the hood, so I run ubuntu. it just works.
nice!
I'll pay you $40 for it! You'll make 2x as much!

My sentiments exactly. I've only seen one at free geek in Portland in person, but they won't give it to me.
They gave it to someone else. It's been gone for months. Prices on ebay have gone into the "insane" category over the last year.
this is why I decided not to tinker with the one I had. needed a keyboard and mouse to be functional than I looked up to see what that would cost... 8-o yeah, that's out side the 'want to tinker with' price range and even than I still needed software, SCSI drive, my screen was 'iffy', etc.
I was just at free geek it's above the door on the shelf as you walk in as part of thief "museum"
It's been gone every time I've been in for the last few months. Just the megapixel display, keyboard and laser printer were up there.
*Sob sob*
I didn't get it. The seller had a MUCH larger offer than the $20 he was asking, and he sold it to them.

If someone paid $500 for that Cube, you could still consider it a "killer deal" in today's crazy market.
MC wants a next cube.
are NeXT machines as easy to use as the Mac OS?

As easy as OS X Server 1.0, anyway. 
You can get an external box with a Mac ROM on it that allows you to boot System 7 natively.

What does the rear SCSI port look like? DB25 or HD50?
The NeXTStation is HD50. I think the Cube is the same.
Ouch, I'm sorry to hear you didn't get it.
Look at it this way: they advertised the Lotto as buying a dream for a dollar, you got a flight of fancy without paying a cent!

To think it was not even six years ago when I traded a Mac SE for a Cube and that was considered a deal.
I never had a chance to trade an SE for one but I do remember not wanting to pay $100 for one and thinking they would get cheaper. I kick myself.
