Are these 2U or 3U by chance? If so, I've been looking to swap out my
desktop cluster nodes for rack mount. It's not a high priority so give
priority to anyone who would make use of the contents. It's just a "it'd
be nice if...". If they are 2 or 3U, and if you have seven left over
(ie: the dead ones), let me know. :)
