I'd be interested in one if the LUG doesn't need 'em.

Does it have to be particularly fast, and are there USB connections
available? If the answers are no and yes respectively...
I have a 1U cable management thing that would probably fit a couple of
external USB drive enclosures fairly well, and would let you hide cables
pretty well too. I'm sure

What about the ever-popular bare disk drive sitting on a table design?

A table? You could afford a table? Geez, damn rich folks! My drives

Hello, world!
GNHLUG has an Internet server (it runs this list, amongst other
things). It has a pair of 18 GB disks (mirrored). That is kind of
small, by today's standards -- especially if we want to start doing
things like hosting videos of meetings. It was pointed out that we
might have
The one wrinkle is that they must be 3.5-inch, 1/3-height, SCSI,
80-pin SCA (single connector attachment) disks. That's all that will
fit the 1U server we have.
I have a pair of Seagate 36g that I believe fit the bill here, though
their size is also nuthin' to write home about...

That would still be twice what we have now. So if you're
That would still be twice what we have now. So if you're willing to
part with them for a price we can afford (i.e., free), that would be
*sweet*.
I'd be willing to let 'em go for Fifty Nothings apiece, me thinks...
I'll double-check 'em tonight to make sure that they're the correct

What kind of hardware are these? Linux x86? SCA SCSI is kind of rare on
x86 and bang/buck is low.
If it's an option, how about a

Linux x86. Actually, the hardware is x86 no matter what OS is
running on it. ;-)

If you say so. I've been getting SCA on most of my x86 servers for
something close to a decade now. :) I suppose if you compare vs the
entire population of x86 boxes, including $200 Wal-Mart specials,

Hmm, I always thought it was power, not space.
Datacenter space varies wildly, but use $20/sqft/mo. A typical
cabinet will take about 17sqft on average (that's not actual
footprint, but allowing for aisleways, etc).
So, $240/mo for the space.
A 42U cabinet will generally hold about 35U of

OK. I've never seen a single datacenter where you were paying for
space above anything else. Even if that's the unit of measure being
sold.

Not new, and not really all that sweet, but I have a couple of old
(PIII-era) 1U servers that I'd be willing to donate to the cause.
