I've heard that a couple of the XServes are packed up for delivery to this loaction, as well as a noise reduction server enclosure, pictured above. More specifically, he says:

I have extracted the enclosure from where it was languishing and have it close to hand now.

I have the G5 and one Intel Xserve boxed up and ready to transport.

I will need to return with the Intel box so I can pack up the second Xserve for transport.

Still working on transferring data from it to new QNAP NAS.

Also boxing up whatever OS materials I can scrounge up around here. OS Server documentation, media and the like.

This sounds like a military operation!

Further, a local vintage Mac collector needed a monitor because his Apple Color Plus display had died. I had the same display sitting unused (and unloved) in a shed for 12 years. I brought it in and plugged it into my 8600. It worked! I was impressed for such a cheap display as this. Make no mistake, I will still make fun of the Apple Color Plus display, but with a modicum of respect.

He will use it to pair with his 660AV. He made a great point that using a 90's CRT monitor gives that authentic Mac experience he wouldn't trade for 1080p and 4K.
