  • 1U servers, preferably i386 or AMD64 for our various services (web, email, revision control, ...). Most of our servers are old-ish and failing. At least 2GB ram and room for two disks (we have all our system disks mirrored).
  • 18GB or 36GB SCSI drives
  • Large ATA (EIDE) disks (for our big backup/storage RAID)
  • 1U or 2U servers, in particular non-i386 ones (Alpha, Opteron, ...) for setting up smoke testing of perl5 and parrot.
  • 16+ port console server, preferably one we can ssh to. We got one from Cyclades, it's awesome!
  • Bizrate got us a great little gigabit switch we use for the internal network, but it's about to be full. Another "managed" (snmp) switch would be handy. Preferably a gigabit one.
If you have some other useful spare hardware or can help in another way, email webmaster at perl.org and we'll see if we can make use of it.
