I've just put up the next batch of servers on eBay. See [1] for
listings.
Thanks to Jasper and Martin for all their work on this.

Tell your friends/peers/favourite mailing lists/irc channels! Let's make sure this provides us with a healthy cash injection. :)

I really think he deserves better - at the very least not having to pay for it, and preferably a better unit if there is one that meets his requirements.
Doubtless the others involved have worked just as hard and should equally be recognised, but it was recalling Jasper's request for repair information and seeing him once again shuffling servers last night that prompted me to write this.

And he gets free choice of parts; he already started taking servers apart a few weeks ago to build his dream server.
We received help from a lot of random volunteers, but there's a list of "full-time" project members at the top here (add yourself if you think you should be on that list):

One thing we've not been good at is tallying up the amount of money made so far, mostly because the initial monitor sales to members were handled quite informally. At some point I'll try to calculate the total; it's already around £1,500, with most servers not even sold yet.

I fixed it last week :)

this kind of thing leads to devisive arguments about the relative
value of peoples actions, which is a long walk off a short plank for
groups like this one, so i'll be paying.

It's not that bad, and martin and robert have done a load as well.
P.S. there are still servers on auction with no bids on them, so if someone
wants one:

Your spelling might not be great, but I have deep respect for your judgment. Well argued.
