If you've got all the sides and intact wheels, this is well worth 
saving.  Even if it is for a VAX, nothing says someone can't 
"upgrade" it to a PDP-11.  I'd classify it more of an end-table 
personally, and I actually used one that way for a few years.

With a little effort you can also keep a VT420 and LA75 on top of it 
and use both.
