At the moment we could really do with some donations of DDR3 RAM to the
Hardware Library. In particular we need 4G DDR3 DIMMs for the systems that
are used for running training sessions. We have some plans for training
sessions at the Beginners' SIG meetings that require more RAM.
Also for the hardware library there is ongoing interest in SATA disks and ATI
PCIe video cards.

ECC server RAM? I can probably source quite a bit.

I do have someone with lots of SAS disks between 73GB and 320GB if that
helps. Also some dual Xeon 1RU and 2RU servers.

We have had a 15,000rpm SAS 73G disk in the hardware library for months with
no takers while SATA disks tend to last a few minutes. SAS disks don't work
with SATA controllers so not many people can use them. However if you had SAS
controllers to go with the disks then there might be some interest!

There usually isn't a lot of demand for that because most people don't have
systems capable of using it. That said RAM is small and light so there's no
harm in having it just in case.
Also I could use some ECC DDR3 PC-12800 unbuffered RAM for one of my systems if
you have some to spare. Not sure which of the subvariants of DDR3 will work,
it would be good if I could get some of each type and keep the ones that work.

Don't bring them to the meeting without finding someone who wants them as there
isn't a lot of demand.
It might be good if we could have some servers on-site where we have the
beginners' meetings for training. If they are setup with KVM we can just copy
the images on to them the night before the training. Would that be a
possibility?
