[geeks] FYI: Comdisco files for bankruptcy protection under C hapter 11

[Ken Hansen]

They had a E10K for sale last month, short list includes:

	48 Volt power
	32 336 MHz CPUs
	16 Gig RAM
	4x SPARCstorage Array, each with 3x 9.1 Gig HD
	56" Rack
	2x SSP Ultra 5s (incl. 20" monitors)
	16 Fan Trays
	:  :
	:  :

	Sun List Price		$998,312
	Comdisco Sale Price	$225,000

I bet you could still get that deal, if you are interested...

I emailed Lily, asking her for a new price list (the last one was the "June Sun Specials" - I wonder what August has in store for us! 8^)

Yeah... kinda interesting considering how much work they do for
Sun and mainframe-based customers.

Comdisco's press release is here (thank Bill for this):
http://www.comdisco.com/Index.cfm/95/B52E6E98-2224-4F18-B8522E3A5C0EA065/

I wonder if it means we can get that $275k E10K for $2k :)
