If rackspace/power/bandwidth makes things easier for svlug, it's pretty 
easy for me to give you those things.  

I've got a 20a circut in a tier3 data center in San Jose that I haven't 
started loading yet;  I have a little under a half rack of space and plenty
of serial console connectors.   I could certainly give you a U and a
serial console no problem.

I'd also be happy to donate a 2GiB or 4GiB ram Xen VPS as well (all my VPSs 
are on mirrored disk)  and I can probably help with hardware if you want a 1u
(I have most of the parts to something decent;  good supermicro case, 8GiB
unbuffered ECC, some CPUs;)
