| Possible NeXT conquest.... | |
| Posted by: BGoins12 on 2012-11-04 19:23:41 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! | |
| Posted by: Cosmo on 2012-11-04 20:57:38 Good luck! What models you are looking at? | |
| Posted by: BGoins12 on 2012-11-05 03:43:13 It's a first generation model, if I'm not mistaken. Here's a picture of the actual setup -  | |
| Posted by: Cosmo on 2012-11-05 03:46:12 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! | |
| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2012-11-05 07:07:14 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. | |
| Posted by: insaneboy on 2012-11-05 09:14:32 nice! | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2012-11-05 09:44:47 I'll pay you $40 for it! You'll make 2x as much! 😱) | |

| Posted by: Macdrone on 2012-11-05 10:07:29 My sentiments exactly. I've only seen one at free geek in Portland in person, but they won't give it to me. | |
| Posted by: mcdermd on 2012-11-05 10:30:27 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. | |
Posted by: insaneboy on 2012-11-05 11:05:24Prices 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. | |
| Posted by: Macdrone on 2012-11-05 13:17:16 I was just at free geek it's above the door on the shelf as you walk in as part of thief "museum" | |
| Posted by: mcdermd on 2012-11-05 14:14:38 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. | |
| Posted by: BGoins12 on 2012-11-05 16:29:47 *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. 🙁 | |
| Posted by: mcdermd on 2012-11-05 16:50:08 If someone paid $500 for that Cube, you could still consider it a "killer deal" in today's crazy market. | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2012-11-05 17:38:02 MC wants a next cube. are NeXT machines as easy to use as the Mac OS? | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2012-11-05 19:44:34 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. | |
| Posted by: CelGen on 2012-11-05 21:16:51 What does the rear SCSI port look like? DB25 or HD50? | |
| Posted by: mcdermd on 2012-11-05 22:51:06 The NeXTStation is HD50. I think the Cube is the same. | |
