There are multiple parties interested in one of these machines, but no one who has contacted me so far appears willing and/or able to deal with the logistics of the removal, myself included. The gear is for sale through www.gsaauctions.gov: Select: All Categories > Computer Equipment and Accessories The listing is titled: MISC COMPUTER EQUIPMENT (NASA JPL) Sale-Lot Number: 91QSCI11008707 Besides the description and photos, there is also a spreadsheet listing the lot inventory, under heading "Additional Documents". There are several people who are interested in machines, and a successful buyer should have no trouble selling a couple for decent money. The big problem is the tight schedule for removal, and the fact that there's a lot material there to be distributed, stored, or disposed of. It would certainly be helpful to be in the SoCal area with some storage. I would be happy to see this equipment rescued by anybody who wants it. If anyone has contacts with a scrapper/recycler who could be worked with, please contact me. I'd be willing to put up some cash toward a bid in exchange for the right to cherry-pick a small amount of the hardware. Note that the auction closes at 4PM *Central* time today, but the gear is in fact located in Fontana, CA. I talked to Domingo there, who is a JPL employee. Though the address is indicated as a logistics company, JPL is simply leasing space in their warehouse. Domingo seemed like a nice enough fellow, and confirmed the number of racks. I'm told they have a loading dock, and the material will be brought to the dock. --Bill --- On Mon, 8/22/11, William Maddox <wmaddox at pacbell.net> wrote:
