Looks quite interesting, but the local pickup is a deal breaker for me.  It won't be going for cheap as several people look to be interested and already the bidding is at AU $292.86.  A nice piece of IBM computing history for whoever gets it.

Yep, the first auction I saw from him was his PC AT board, maybe almost a year ago I think.  After that I kept looking at his auctions each week hoping for something else good, but only Commodore, PC stuff, etc.  Nothing the slightest bit interesting until this popped up.  Price-wise I think it's still very reasonable, but needing to fly into Adelaide to pick it up means the shipping cost just went through the roof.
