I have to say I think this is kind of sick and wrong.
The notion of paying through the nose for an unopened MP2100 and then
NEVER OPENING IT as a collectors item is too maddening for words.
It's a computer. It was designed and built to be used. That is it's
value.
Turning it into some kind of fetish item seems kind of stupid and
pointless to me.
Don't you think?

PS If you want to collect something of value, try art, at least you can
enjoy that.
