IBM's pSeries 570 vs a 520 vs 550

Hidey Ho Folks,

Looking to buy a pServer for playing around with the IBM side of things. Looked around for a bit and notice that there is a significant price gap for the used 570's (Single Units) vs the 520's and 550's that folks are selling. Curious what to watch out for in either case? And why would a 520 and a 550 be so different in price vs the 570? Do the 570's have some dependence on the whole rack they come from? Since the 570's w/ APV come much cheeper, naturally, I'm a bit suspicious. If anyone could let me know, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks, DH
