I'll gladly take a 6800. ;)
I can make COMPLETE use of 24 processors! As it'll take a IV...that's
dual-core right? Meaning...48 cores!
Even the processors that are in them have GREAT BIG CLANGING BALLS. I
just have no use for them here. If you want one, you can have one. I
will deliver it to your driveway, but you must bear the expense. That
will primarily consist of truck rental fees and fuel. I could probably
get one to you for about $250.
That isn't that bad. I could handle that with time.
Note that these are larger-than-normal racks, and they're very
difficult to move. They weigh about 1200lbs. I've moved a pair of
these machines by myself without proper equipment, and thus at great
personal risk, to my old place a few years ago. I did so out of
necessity. The story (with pics) is here:

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. I could very easily have gotten killed in
that operation. "Regular" racks are one thing...these weigh well over
half a ton, and are a different matter entirely.
Well, I'll stick it in the room where a piano used to sit. It should hold there. ;)
(Also no need for stairs, then.)
I could also fairly easily rig something up with a switch to change between that and the
oven, then...as nowhere else would I have minimum 30A service save for upstairs and the
air conditioner. ;)
