Try to get a DS10 (instead of the DS10L), better box. With the DS10L
you probably want an external storage/disk shelf.

A DS15 is a damn nice Alpha, about the fastest you can find (today).
There is a reason the DS15 (and DS25) and not particular cheap on
the second hand market, even if prices might have fallen off the
last couple of years.

I know little about emulators since I always had access to real HW.
