I frequently have things shipped from one side of North America to the other with no problems. As long as it's properly packed there shouldn't be a problem. I've dealt with the guy that's selling the 1.5Ghz zx6000 before and can vouch that he does an excellent job of packing. YMMV :-) ps. A note on the 900Mhz zx6000 - these will be McKinley processors which I don't believe are officially supported by VMS (I think Oracle has problems with them for example). I have a couple and they'd work fine for many hobbyist/development applications, but you might be better off in the long run to go for the 1.5Ghz model, which will have a Madison CPU. ------------------------------ End of INFO-VAX 2008.413 ************************
