I was in the lab and tried to take stock of our machines, it actually looks like we done have anything worth donating. 

3x Dell Optiplex mini towers

1x FLat Style Dell Optiplex

1x tower of unknown make/origin

Dell Precision 620 - pentium 3 1.0 ghz 256mb ram DVD, No HDDs, boots, has ubuntu 8.1 CD in drive

NEC PowerMate Pro2200 - Some kind of server, seems to be complete, no video out but turns on

HP Vectra Xu -  2x Pentium Pro...seems mostly complete, too cool to toss.

2x big dell server - not sure about them. mek and i had the one near the door running once, but i think the drives were bad (?)

2x SG Iris Indigo - havent tried turning them on

Imac (blue) - boots os 9.1 works great has photoshop...great machine!!!

Imac (red) - boots, no hdd, i think someone pulled it last semester, can be fixed?

Garak + Big Garak - ancient hard drive enclosures, not sure if anyone wants to keep them

Some massive battery backup - looks partially  disassembled, seems like a fire hazzard, can we get rid of this? battery needs to be disposed of correctly.

Compaq Presario (fairly new) - mostly stripped, its the silver and black one thats been floating around...bad mobo?

Paper tray from a copy machine - where did this come from??

Epson stylus color 640 - in a box, no clue if it works.

HP 25000 CM - the monster printer on top of the back table...does it work? can we get rid of it?

I went down to Votey122 but didnt see anyone around to ask for that machine

I have the three Big suns at my house (grant st downtown) and need to get them up here somehow (i can take them in my vw one at a time, but wont be able to carry them to the elevator on my own)

been doing more reading, I think we can have it up pretty soon, but once its up what are we going to do with it? how are we going to cool it? i don't have any cooling ideas, but in terms of a use for it I was looking into some ways to volunteer processor time (BONIC projects specifically), as of now, SETI@home and SIMAP@home(which is a similar project to fold@home) seem to be the only ones with a SPARC client, and both may require replacing our debian installs with freeBSD or openSolaris (hopefully someone with a better understanding of this than I can confirm this). . . quite a pita, but if it has to be done I don't mind doing it.

lets drink it!  hack your mood/vision/balance/judgment!
