[Wolves] A large lump of hardware going for free

[trog]

At Handsworth Grammar School we have an IBM RS/6000 SP/2 going to anyone who 
wants to cart it away.  It's a 4 x thin node model; basically it's four  
rs/6000-390's in a rack.  And that's pretty well all I know about it.  If you 
do want it, you should note that :-

it has no operating system but it *might* run Linux (when we first got it I 
did some research and I was confident that it could be made to work).

it may or may not power up, although it looks OK to me.  (We bought some time 
ago on ebay with the intent of using it but we've never had the time.  Now we 
need the space.) 

it is very big; you'll need a large van with a tail lift or a 6'x4' trailer 
and a couple of beefy mates to help take it away.

you'll have to collect it during school time.

it comes as is (the ultimate home computing challenge).

pix of it can be seen here http://www.openhgs.org/gallery/album02

If anyone is interested, drop an an email at sysadmin at handsworth.bham.sch.uk

Personally I reckon it would make the ultimate home system and I'd love to 
have it here but I simply don't have the room to keep it.
