Yup, I just got one for $390 + tax & shipping. It's really cute... :)

Note that these only have 256K of cache and this isn't upgradeable

By and large, my experiences with Onsale to date have been pretty
positive (although I suspect they shipped EDO instead of parity
memory for the UDB).

The notes state that they will use an internal 3.5" drive, but
this precludes the use of the PCI slot.

The notes also state that the PSU is really rather wimpy, and
the box is rather tight.

Yup, that's my choice, especially as the 2.5" drives seem to be
expensive too.

Anyone out there know how to jumper the things to use a DEC VR299
60Khz 1024x864 fixed frequency and resolution monitor?

(By which I mean I _know_ the jumpers I need to set, I just can't
find W6-W3 labelled on the motherboard, and there seems to be two
groups of 4 jumpers, one by the PCI slot, and the other over by
the SIMM slots... I need a diagram, but it's not in the DEC
service guide... :( )

Cheers,

AS
