Have hardware to donate? Anyone who donates hardware that is used on the server will also be listed here, along with what was donated. Please contact me if you wish to donate computer equipment so I can determine if it is needed and possible reimbursment for the hardware.

Currently needed hardware:

  • Rackmount 10/100/1000 switch. I currently have a 10/100 switch, which is running at maximum bandwidth most of the time. An upgrade to a gigabit switch will speed things up tremendiously. The only non-gigabit item on my network is the switch.
  • Western Digital Caviar RE2 500GB SATAII drive. These cost about $150 on Newegg. I need these specific drives due to the RAID 5 setup I am using.
  • Rackmount computer cases. 3U or 4U cases with a depth of at least 23 inches. Shorter cases don't work well with a lot of components stuffed in them. Such cases can be found on ebay for $150 or less, with name brand cases going for $200 and up.
