I'm not sure how great of a deal this is, however it looks interesting for those of us who would like to help out with the alpha port, sadly I'm not in a position to get one for myself however..

I personally have one of these machines and while they aren't the greatest machines on the planet, they make very nice Xterminals. Barebones Multia 166mhz DEC Alpha Processor, 256k Cache Integrated Ethernet adapter (RJ45, supports 10baseT, 10base2, ThinNet) 2 PCMCIA slots Integrated SVGA Video 2MB RAM (8 bpp only) Serial and parallel ports PS/2 Style Keyboard and Mouse ports 16 Bit Sound SCSI-2 Adapter Floppy drive Vertical stand for Multia case 90 Day warranty THe memory isn't as easy to come by these days and its almost impossible to find a reasonably priced 2.5" scsi hard drive. Nevertheless, they make pretty good xtermiansl and if you drop a cheap pci video card in them you can even get higher bit planes for graphics). Anyway, I called these folks and they said that they will give a discount on these things if they are ordered in bulk. Not much of a saving. $90 for 10 of them plus $9.50 shipping. So if we order them together we can basically get them for $99 including shipping. Not a big savings but still a savings nonetheless. If you are interested in purchasing one of these things, then drop me some email. I might get together an order. THe more the merrier.
