"rescue" to the rescue!

There's a local mailinglist for people like me, who appreciate old and otherwise obsolete hardware. And it's called rescue. Lots of people on there, because usually what's offered are freebies that'd otherwise be junked.
Following the debacle with the Sun Ultra2 today, I sent a request for an U2 and/or a fitting PSU to the list. And found someone with a dusty U2 in the cellar, which I got just for the taking! (+ a crate of beer, because even I am not that cheap)
Now, if I also got a working PSU, that'd make two Ultra2's, one for me, and even [info]alexzangerl wouldn't have to cope with an Ultra1 (I guess [info]alexzangerl would also appreciate a second 170 MHz CPU).

The only thing with that list that irks me is that noone seems to want my SS1's ;-)

What? That noone wants my SS1's or that I found an U2 for practically nothing ;-?
