Certainly, and you can often beat even their prices by buying the
parts and building your own.

I would certainly have said this in the past, but the 3/80 (and maybe
the SPARCstation, I haven't seen one) makes me wonder. You can stick
a floppy and two hard drives inside, and it comes with a parallel printer
port. That looks suspiciously like a machine that would fit into a
smaller environment decently. Oh yeah -- one of the serial ports is
9 pin, like the IBM AT.
