On the plus side:

   1) it's the cleanest looking 3000 I've ever seen,

   2) the seller's mention of video connectors shouldn't be an issue; it 
shouldn't prove a problem for any PC workstation display that supports SoG I 
would think.

On the minus side:

   1) hard disk and/or PSU and/or all manner of esoteric parts might be faulty,

   2) I don't see any mention (surprise, surprise) of a Domain keyboard in the 
auction listing - what a pain if the seller actually does have it ("re-PC" 
suggests an equipment recycler) and have managed to lose it amongst a pile of 
other non-Apollo keyboards! :-(

... my gut feeling is that $50 would be nearer the mark for something that's 
untested and is missing its keyboard; it'd be good for someone who already had 
a complete DN3000 and wanted to make up a nice, working example along with a 
spares cache.

(wonder where the seller got it from if they are just a recycler? The machine 
looks to have an ATR network board, and I bet it was rare anyway for a site to 
just buy a single Apollo - wherever it came from probably had a few originally)

cheers
