I've got an odd collection of leftovers that I want out of our office ASAP. A couple of fake-cherry finish desks (that are actually pretty decent), some generic computer desks of mediocre quality (hey, I'm being honest here). A 4-post rack or two, some misc tables. No chairs though. It's in

I've actually got a couple of Cisco 2511 Async servers. I didn't think about serial consoles, but I guess that can be provided as well if there is a need. In the 8 years I've had a server colo'd, I've never had a need for a serial console though. -Original Message- Serial consoles
