I'm going to give BLU members a little head start before I put these on
Craigslist. 

I have two Compaq ProLiant DL360 servers that I am giving away. 

These are rack mount units, intended for server rooms. 

1. single processor, 128 MB RAM, no drives. Boots OK with a 
   borrowed drive.

2. Dual processor, 256 MB RAM, two Ultra SCSI 68 pin drives in 
   "hot swap" trays. I stole one from the first machine to put 
   in a RAID1 array. Boots OK but Ubuntu install errored out 
   while trying to write to rd0. 

Caveats:

* These are server machines, not suitable for home use. They 
  are LOUD. They are intended for rack mounting.

* I have the Compaq setup CD that you'll need to reconfigure 
  the RAID or alter the disk layout. It comes _with_ the 
  machines.

* Pickup in Sharon, first come first served.
