[Gloucs] 1U servers (AMD 2GHz Opterons)

[Sean Keeney]

5 quid each is entirely reasonable and I can still pick them up if you like!

I'd like two if possible - one for video encoding (i'm converting my whole
collection to x264) and the other for compiling. A friend could do with two
as well if that is ok?

Thanks

Sean
