Don't buy an AS400. Buy an RS/6000 - you can pick up a decent one for anywhere between 50GBP and 5000 GBP :D

The RS/6000 is just a AIX / random Unix box, whereas   the AS/400 is WEIRD.

I like weird.

Technically AIX isn't just a "random unix box" it's weird with a POSIX layer on top. :-D

Definitely not as weird as an AS/400 though.
