[ale] server troubles (again)

[warlord at MIT.EDU (Derek Atkins)]

Hey,

There's a guy in Peachtree City that has a bunch of 1U HP servers
available for $75 each (this is the guy from whom I aquired my racks a
month or so ago).  I can see if he still has any available or get the
appropriate people in touch with him, if it would help?

I don't have any specs.
