If you have any IDE drives > 40 GB, and any SATA drives, we'll take
those too.  They tend to be the gating factor in putting together
frankenboxes out of donated motherboards and stuff.

Awesome, please send an email to treasurer at noisebridge.net and CC
secretary at noisebridge.net, giving
 - the official name and address of the company/org donating
 - ideally a list of the gear, but we can sort that out when we get
   there.

Normally we'd send the letter after the donation is received (and we
have the complete list of gear to include in the letter).  If you need
something immediately we can definitely work something out.

Completely understood.  Sounds like Glen J has transport under control,
I work a few blocks away and will plan to be there too for manual labor.
