I've still got my 5 identical HP Vectra's, complete with spare power
supplies that I'd like to hand off during the Lawrence RedHat visit
(since I have yet to actually attend one of the KC meetings):

They may be slow by today's standards, but they're in small-ish desktop
cases, and being identical machines should make a good test cluster.

Twist my arm a bit, and I could probably be convinced to throw in some
decent 8G Hitachi IDE drives.  I have at least 3 of these, and I think
there are actually 4 (on already in-system)...could be used to make 4
exactly identical systems!.

So...any takers yet, or am I going to have to keep upping the ante?!?!
