We took a tour at the Delta Airlines office today. Their main board room had a 909 hanging there. They use it strictly for viewing marketing commercials. The use a Digital for everything else. I asked if they ever wanted to unload it, I'm the guy. They said well considering it was over 65 grand and they only use it 2 times a year, I am SOL. Awesome server room though. Robot backup arms pulling drives. Very cool.
A guy can try!!!

Why dont you just buy a used Marquee 9500 ULTRA and mod it all the way up, youll likely be just as happy. Itll cost you less, and more parts around.

But in the end it's still not a 909

No, its a machine with simular capabilities, better documented mods, more spares, and cheaper price.
909 doesnt have colour filtered C-elements.

It just so happens that I know someone with 1 red and 1 green c-element sitting on a desk 4 feet from his PC.

I agree with case a marquee is a more affordable beast with plenty of mods
Though I would love to see a 909 in person(mm road trip  )
I am in the works of getting a second marquee (couldn't stand it during the time mine was out of service back in December)
