I don't know what the box consists of, but maybe it might be a good time 
to update it with a Y10,000 box from Otto. The last time I dropped by 
there, it had gotten to the point where 1GHz boxes are selling for just 
slightly over Y10,000. I think there were a few at Y11,000, some more at 
Y12,000, etc. They supply fluctuates sometimes when someone buys a large 
batch of machines at a time, but generally they have a good selection. 
If you haven't been there, I have a couple of pictures of the outside of 
the shop and one of the inside on this page:
