before memory and disk.

That last is huge! Those machines mostly had 8G and 17G drives and
those were not cheap then. $1,400 for an 8G and I think $2,400 for a
17G. 1 GB of memory was another $3,200 or so. So to get to 70GB
Usable disk you'd be spending $2,400 times 6 for a set of drives
($14,400) PLUS you need a RAID card for another $6K. So 1G Mem and
70GB Disk sets you back over $23,000 or nearly three times the base 515

price.
