[vcf-midatlantic] Swap Meet Interest: POWER6

Good call Alex, I should have done that before!

The two systems are IBM POWER6 8203-E4A 520 Express systems.
Upright/desktop configuration. One powers on but has board issues. Might be
resolved with some work. The second one works fine and I had plans for it
(even bought a video card for it) but I never got around to fully using it
and is currently just sitting. I wanted to fix the other one and sell that
one off but time and health are not in my best currently.

The one that does work also has two hard drives. And if I recall correctly
they are both PowerVM capable. I really didn't want to consider selling
both of them but I rather it be seen used sooner than later to someone who
can give them attention. Plus there's a bigger fish I'm on the pursuit of
that I need to put some of my better resources to.

Finally, as for the Sun E450, that powers on and boots, but there's a slew
of issues that it has when I ran it through diag. I had a planned use for
it that I no longer need it for, so I plan on selling that too if anyone
wants a project.

If Anyone out there is interested hit me up privately. I'm not looking for
unreasonably high prices. But I would like to get something I can put
towards my more important projects down the pipe. Trades might be welcome
as well depending on what they are.

Cheers!

-Lou
