Josh,

I'd be interested in Sun 4/6xx CPU and memory boards (the ss630's you
reference below), NeXT stuff, and ethernet hardware, especially (though not
likely) any switches.

Good hunting! How come I never happen to find dumpsters full of this stuff.

So, I get a call from a coworker today asking me to drive over to our 
Alexandria datacenter. there are some hired trash-movers throwing away all
sorts of old hardware. "If you want to keep anything, hurry up!"

When I pull up, I see two dumpsters full of scrapped ss330s, ss630s, ss470s,
an rs6k box, and heaps of sparc 1s, sparc2s, next slabs, old monitors,
ethernet
concentrators, and some banged up racks.

I was able to rescue an ss2, a Dec udb, and t1 test kit in my friend's
Civic.
I get off work at six, and I indend to head back over for some more dumpster
diving.

I may very well have a BUNCH of goodies availble for the taking, though I'm
not sure how much we'll be able to fit into our cars. I'll keep you posted.
