[BLUG] [OT] Anyone have an Alpha collecting dust?

Over the last week or so I've been powering up my old machines in
preparation for rearranging them and to my dismay both of my DEC Alpha
machines have bit the dust :(

Does anyone have either an alpha workstation or smallish server that's
capable of running VMS that they'd be willing to trade for a Sun Ultra
5? The sun needs a hard drive, but its bog-standard ATA.

I'm probably going to part out the Alphas since I'm stumped on how to
get them working again. One is a PWS 500au (21164A @ 500MHz, 192M,
Miata MX5, qlogic scsi controller, powerstorm 3D30, cdrom) and the other
is an AlphaServer 1000A (21064 @ 266MHz, 256M, lots of empty
storageworks cans, onboard scsi & video, DAT, cdrom), so if anyone needs
parts...

I'm also looking to replace my DECstation 5000/120 which also failed,
but since its a power supply issue I might be able to modify an ATX
supply to do the trick.

On the plus side, my VAXes came up ok, so I'm not VMS-less!

[BLUG] OT: Need AGP/PCI video card -- 128MB+

Doing a charity update/upgrade on an old box, and could use a decent
video card to replace the old 64MB that's in it. Something like an
nVidia FX5200 would be ideal. Would prefer nVidia for Linux compatibility.

Wanted to see if anyone had some server rails that they might be looking to part with?
