I've got several DS10Ls in excellent working condition with very little run
time.  I am willing to hear offers on .. just email me

1U compaq DS10L
466mhz 264 alpha CPU
At least 256MB RAM 
10GB internal drive
dual 100mbit 'tulip' ethernet

The DS10Ls have RCM which allows you to remotely assert halt, reset, power
on and off via the serial console.  They are reliable and stable machines.

To give you an idea of how this might compare to an intel PC, here are some
'flops' numbers:


Dual CPU Intel Pentium III (686-class):

Same test run on the DS10L:
