Alphas were very popular, just not with home users (they aren't intel
compatible). You have an excellent chance of picking up a cheapie.
Keep an eye on Hyman's auction house in Fyshwick, they often have
ex-govie units. Prices are generally very reasonable but bidding can
get vicious when two nerds want the same machine.
