[rescue] Need to get rid of my sun collection

[Robert Reif]

I have a big onyx RE2.  I think it has only one pipe but I may be 
confusing it with the one I had at work. It had the power supply recall 
done. I think I have 2 desk side RE2s and 2 O2s.  I did a quick check 
but couldn't find the O2s or the second desk side to verify.  The stuff 
is piled up. The sgi and s100 stuff won't be going to the storage unit 
because they have the most sentimental value to me. I will go through 
them and cull what I don't want once I get rid of the sun stuff.  The 
house is being remodeled for handicap access now so it's a little crazy 
here.

I will want to keep one desk side.  I think I have some spare onyx cpu 
and memory boards.
