[rescue] Rescue my Sun hardware!

Hey rescuers --

This stuff is sitting around my basement, completely unused.  It should go to
a good home, to someone who will hug it and squeeze it and love it and call it
George.  Everything powers on and POSTs successfully when I last tried it, but
obviously no guarantees - it is after all a rescue.  :-)

I'd prefer it to all go to one home, just because it makes my life easier.
The short version:
     Sun E4500 server, 8 400MHz CPUs, 8 GB memory, spares
     Sun E3500 server, 8 250MHz CPUs, 8 GB memory, spares
     UPA I/O board (with Creator3D and SunVideo card)
     and A giant pile of spares and other random fiddly bits

Caveats: You have to come get it all (I live in Berkeley, California).
Promise me you aren't going to part it out and resell it on eBay.  And do
something interesting with it; this gear has a fairly storied past.
