[NBLUG/talk] Server for sale - cheap!

[Andrew]

Okey dokey. Looks like Walter gets the server. I've put him in
touch with Steve. Now, does anybody have a line on where he can
get that second power supply?

Walter, if you can scare up a power supply soon, you should bring
the server to the InstallFest. That should be an interesting
experience.
