Wow.  I guess that we would love the chance to receive these, but we
would have to turn around and try to sell them for funds.  I don't think
that there is a school or charity that we could give them to, though. 
Perhaps someone else on the list would have an idea.  On rollers?  How
big and heavy does it make them?

Brian Chee could best address this.  UH accommadates our website and
traffic.  Perhaps we could give them one of these as a token of our
gratitude.  These could probably be given away to a school or somewhere
within the DOE that has a rack.

Do they have the standard ATX power plugs, or is it something more
proprietary?  We could always put power supplies to use.

I mix a wife and computer equipment, and the computer equipment always
loses.  Thanks to Beth Tom and Pricebusters, HOSEF lets us geeks have a
home away from home. :-)
