[Gllug] Kit to sell for charity

[Dan Rogers]

Look forward to seeing the list Iain.  As for pricing on the second hand
market, eBay.
http://computers.shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=blade+server&_sacat=58058&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313&_odkw=blade&_osacat=58058

They don't have any HS100's but have enough items listed to give you an
idea.

Regards.

Dan
