Just copped a MPC 4000 with 250GB, 512MB. The up cursor button doesn't work(that can be fixed). I think there is like 40 GB of sound because it says 199GB free. First thing i did was open this bad boy up and give it a good cleaning. I'm coming from the 2000xl so getting into the machine was not as hard as people say. I had a 3000...sorry didn't like it. This machine from the little i played with it so far very deep.

who cares just make some damn music buddy

I think you can get gear cheap now with the economy...a lot of people are selling there gear. I've been waiting to get one for years now. It's used but still in good condition. First thing i did was open it up and air can the inside, took the pads out clean them, removed all the buttons and cleaned(they were dirty as hell). I think this is the only sampler one needs.
