If any one is interested, I have a brand new AS400 sitting upstairs in my computer room, it was a bought as surplus item, never used. I just hung onto it. It can be yours cheap, not wanting an arm and a leg for it, I would be open to a nice offer if anyone has an interest.

I just did a search, and only found used systems, never new, and they were all "refurbed", starting at $1500, and going up to $22k... and still refurbed.
I think my guess of new, > $100k is about right.
