Wow.<br>
<br>
I'd love to pitch in $50 and throw a server at you to colo, but I don't have any rackmount servers at the moment and most 1U servers are still a little on the expensive side. 2U and up would get cost-prohibitive for my situation. I'll keep looking around though, if I can find something no more than 1.75 inches high I'll definitely pitch in.<br>
<br>
(LapkoSoft in Lincoln had $30-40 IBM Dual P3 1U rackmounts a week or two ago but for some reason their website isn't showing any servers... those would have been awesome to colo, AND I could have picked up a load of them on my way to Omaha!)<br>
