Hi, Tom.

Do you mean to use in outer space? [outside the 57North Space]

I've bought replacement motherboards for the 2U 'Rackable' systems that
I took back from the Space. You're welcome to have some of those if you
are prepared to test and fit the salvaged components to the replacement
motherboards. I thought these Xeon systems from Petrotechnics might be a
lot better, but from what me, Carl and Rob saw last week they are not...
However they do at least work, which is more than can be said for most
of the 2U 'Rackable' Opteron 200 servers that I donated ;-)

Bye,

  Tony.
