	The VAX 8650 chews up about 6500W (10kVA).
	It is (IIRC) 3 phase. A UNIBUS cab for it could
	eat up another 2000W. Throw in the same
	again for a stack of RA8x disks. It's
	not clear exactly what all the cabs are
	but I would guess one UNIBUS expansion,
	possibly an SBI expansion and the rest
	may well be disks.

	Obviously it's not physically small over 700kg
	(nearly 1800lbs), 5ft tall, 6ft wide, 1-1/2 ft
	deep. The other cabs are probably the same height
	and depth but not as wide (perhaps
	half the width). 

	There cannot be too many of these left floating
	around. They came out late and were followed
	very quickly by the first of the VAXBI machines.
	You would need air-con to run it (and plenty
	of power too) but if you don't grab it now,
	there won't be any available when tech shares
	rebound and you become rich enough to
	house it properly :-)
