We decommissioned two of the three. They were powered down more often than not. I have a V240 here in various pieces that I've bought off of eBay, but I've not yet assembled and powered it up to see if it is sufficiently fast to serve for this purpose. The most recent V210 that we just brought up as a package building node (same flavor machine, different configuration) seems heavily disk-bound. I don't know yet whether that is due to the physical disks, or the setup of that machine. It's a dual 1GHz, 6G RAM, which is the beefiest machine we've got. I won't have the time to investigate disk performance before BSDCan but if it turns out that it's the physical disks I'll be happy to take you up on your offer and repurpose the machine. mcl
