Freebies & Others

I'm CC'ing this to classiccmp and port-vax because what I have is pertinent to anyone using rackmount hardware (or VME boards). Both items are LOCAL PICKUP ONLY, Kent, Washington (southeast of Seattle). NON-FREEBIE... Asking $50.00 or best offer. Five-foot tall enclosed equipment rack for 19" hardware. Cosmetically OK, some scratching of the paint, no dents or drops that I can see. Rails front and back are pre-drilled and tapped for standard 10-32 screws. Has 'wiremold' brand plug strip mounted along one side to the rear, and a humongous (12" at least) cooling fan in the bottom. Said fan draws air through a removable/cleanable aluminum-mesh filter on the bottom/front, then blows it up from the bottom of the cabinet. It's noisy, but it moves a load of air! The power cord for said fan was frayed and cracking, so I cut it off. Can be easily replaced. It's on wheels, and includes a magnetic-latch rear door. Black/Light Tan color scheme. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- FREE TO A GOOD HOME... Charles River Data Systems VME Chassis, Rackmount (std. 19"), with slides. Eight-slot, if I recall correctly, big beefy power supply, plenty of I/O connectors, and space to mount hard drives (5.25 or 3.5, your choice). Heck, I think I may even have the key for the keyswitch up front. If you buy the rack, and then decide you want the chassis, great. If not, said chassis is a first-come, first-served freebie. Thanks much! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner and head honcho, Blue Feather Technologies http://www.bluefeathertech.com // E-mail: kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com Amateur Radio: WD6EOS since Dec.
