[dorkbotsea-blabber] Sat. Mar 28 UW Surplus Public Auction (fwd)

[Joseph Gray]

of course I'm always beating the 911 Media drum, but a few servers  
there like these to experiment with would be great.  If you really do  
end up getting 40 servers for a couple hundred bucks or so I'd be into  
paying for a couple to add to 911's arsenal.
