The 318 might be a little outdated - for about $5k you could get a 340, a
Motorola 68030-based system which runs at about 4 MIPS.  Comes with 4 meg
of RAM.  The base configuration is meant to run discless, I think, but you
can add a SCSI controller for about $1.5k.

If you've got more than that to spend, look into the 370:  meant to be a
cluster server, performance may be as good as 7 MIPS or so.

And an HP employee!  You surprise me!
