My PWS600 is the highly sought after 'au' unit with the massive 4MB
cache module and PowerStorm 4D20 graphics card.  Considering what the
cards (occasionally) go for separately I certainly would not be
willing to let it go too cheap (or else I'd part out the 4D20 and sell
it with an Elsa GLoria or other lesser card and get a pittance for it).
