I've had my 3000/300 for about a year.  It came with: 150Mhz CPU, 64megs 
RAM, 1gig HDD, and nothing else.  No monitor, keyboard, cables.  Which i 
really don't need anyway.  I do all administration through ssh, and have a 
serial console handy should the need arise.  Works great as a utility-type 
server.  I use it for email, ftp, and proxy server on a small 
network.  Stable as hell, wish some of my wintel boxes had the uptime this 
little workhorse does.

At the time i got the box, I knew nothing about alphas and certainly 
nothing about this model.  There was little info anywhere on the net about 
the box.(you're welcome to search)  I learned the most just by wading 
through the netbsd INSTALL.txt and picking stuff up as i went.
