I haven't but will either get one, or use my old man's comp to do it with his bidsniper.
I will NOT be best pleased if some tosspot does get in there first and tax my pump. Those fuckers do NOT come cheap usually (theres a fair few on ebay in the 3-4 grand price range, which is way, WAY more than I can afford, even if it is in dollars.
If I don't win though I'll use the money to grab myself a couple of really beasty rotary vane type vacs, for use as roughing pumps. Keeping my eyes out for any mercury diffusion pumps that might be going, if I see any, for getting the pressure in the vacuum chamber/beamline(s) down to that last miniscule fraction of a mmHg

That's an even better solution as the power thing requires me to have a chair to stand on, a sense of balance, and my sister not being in the house to complain/grass me up. I'm fairly sure the login for the router is still default too. Wooooop!
