I have a possibility of 5 more IBM x3950m2 with 128G RAM and quad core
2.4GHz machines that maybe available

I should find out this week if I can get them
Is there enough interest in them?

If so, they will have to be out of here on friday so transport will be
required - can any drivers with a car capable of taking 0.25 Tons and 20RU
of volume please be on standby
