Re: Where to get used (cheap) hardware

[Wesley Leonard <marshall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had the misfortune of going to a WMU auction once....  there's nothing but
junk.  You may be able to pick up a case but I don't know if it's worth your
time.

Now UofM has a good surplus dept.  I picked up a rack (19", standard) for $1.00
