At this point, a 6006 is useful as a door stop or a boat anchor.
6506 chassis are plentiful and cheap

6006 chassis are still plenty usefull, only real issue is the fact that you cant run all of the latest and greatest IOS's on 'em (still in 12.1), and they're simply not an ideal size. If you're running sup720's, etc. this shouldn't be an issue, however if you're running a sup1a's for example and a few 6348 rj45's, unless you need feature support not in the 12.1 train, you should be just fine with a 6000 series.
Real question here is, why get a 6506/6006, when you can get a 6509/6009? the 6006 is only useless based on its size, too big to be small, too small to be big. The 6503 is 4u, the 6506 is 12u, and the 6509 is 15u if memory serves me correctly.Myles Loosley-Millman - admin@prioritycolo.com

From a capability/performance standpoint the 6506 and 6509 are exactly the same -- the 9 just has 3 additional slots. Everything else is identical -- same modules, same backplane, same supervisors. The 6506 can still be handy in tightly cramped areas like packed MDFs.

Thanks, looks like a 65xx will be the right choice then.
I dont need a large amount of slots for modules, so I would rather save the space and keep the cost down.
Finally, whats the difference between the Enhanced and normal chassis?

Okay, thanks for the help so far all.
If I go for: 6503E, SUP720, WS-X6348 and WS-X6048 on 220V Input I think I will need a 2500W PSU? Or could I get away with the 1300W?

The ebay listing also has a fan tray, with a sup720 in a 6503 is this going to be essential? If so I think I need a 6506
