[rescue] Still searching for a Pizzabox Sparc, and a question about restoration after rodent infestation...

[Christopher Purdy]

Well...

I think this is going to end up the most prudent solution...

I dug into the box last night and was well into cleaning, thinking I was
nearly finished...

Then I saw the tragic bit - My rodent guest fouled the video and
aftermarket PCI cards as well... pulled the cards and the PCI slots are
caked as well as the surface of part of the MB...

So - I'm pulling the drives and putting her out to the curb... ohh well...
maybe I'll find another.
