got a dumb question where do i get AIX 5.3 from

Guys, ive been looking about , but obviously not hard enough, Where do i get AIX 5.3 from ?
DO i need to purchase it or is it free to download on a single user license ?:confused:

Thanks

You will need to purchase it. Normally through an IBM Partner. You check on their site for companies that sell it. It will not be cheap though and I believe you will need their hardware to run it on.

Am i better off buying a machine from ebay or something that pre-installs it as part of the deal ?
