I was just looking at that auction.  It's a pretty cool find!

Kinda pricey. I got one of these on eBay once and it's awesome. (I think The_Ed got the rest)

Edit: This guy lives in my area, maybe I'll give him a call tomorrow :p

Is it mainly for the box, or are the caps also special?

The cap puller is also interesting.

I got mine for the IBM original green / yellow keycaps it came with. This set doesn't have it.
