Mark/Everyone,
I was second on the list to pick this up, and had even talked to
my boss and was told I could store it in my office, but only if I snuck
it in on a weekend. The cpu weighs about 400lbs, the printer about
600lbs, and the drive rack w/drives about 1000lbs. I have the means to
pick it up, but only temporary storage, and I doubt I could ever fire it
up. I don't have 220 at my house, or in my office. Since there was
someone ahead of me in the list of people that wanted it, and I haven't
been told to come get it, I assume it's gone to a good home. I was
thinking "would anyone on the list be interested in this monster?" If I
do actually end up with it, I will post it here, and put it up for grabs.
