Sounds like a good idea to me. I've long been impressed by the amount of
work that George puts into this project, and would be very willing to
contribute a few bucks so that we could purchase the needed hardware to
further the project. The members of Team Anandtech have often contributed
money and/or hardware to various things. I believe they supplied the $$$
and hardware for the team's personal proxy server for their
distributed.net efforts, and have contributed to at least one "game box"
for the team members. Why can't we do something similar?
Of course, George would have to find the time to do all of this wonderful
new coding...;-)
