RFQ, Linux/EMC system

I've just taken a major step towards a real servo CNC system. I scored
an industrial robot at a price I couldn't pass up (free).
There is no info on the servo motors that I can see, but the power
supply cabinet has two very nice Yaskawa servo amps with a really nice
power supply setup. I'm thinking of trying to off the robot itself and
use those funds to buy a couple servo motors and encoders to suit my
Bridgeport. Goal is to just CNC XY for now. However, I really don't have
time to mess with Linux/EMC right at the moment.

Several folks here have floated the idea of building a complete system.
I'd like to request quotes from those interested and qualified, to build
me a computer complete with Linux, RT, and EMC, setup and verified as
operational. I would supply the STG card, but would ship it to you for
testing. This would be something along the lines of a P166/200, CD, 1.44
floppy, couple gig HD. I've got a monitor, keyboard,
and would buy whatever mouse or trackball was needed. Given the
environment, I think I'd prefer a trackball if drivers are available.
I'm not ready to do this just yet, trying to piece together what it's
all going to cost first.
