Having used these machines at home for years, I think I can state, and 
surely many will agree, that these are the best hobbyist machines, or at 
least the best VAX hobbyist machines.  Small, quiet, need little power, 
fast (for a VAX), SCSI.  What more do you want?  It is easy to remove 
the top (no screws) and fool around with the hardware.

While there is room for a couple of small internal disks, I would 
recommend hooking up a BA353 (pizza box) or BA353 (7-disk tower) with 
SBB disks.
