I've been lurking here for a while and decided to offer my extra gear here instead of eBay. 
I'm cutting back on my home lab... I have the following equipment for sale.
All equipment has been used/maintained in a data-center type environment, clean and well cared for. You can see most of the equipment in operation at View topic - Official "post pics of your network" thread • Networking Forum - A Computer Networking Community Site - scroll almost to the bottom of the page to see photos and a description. The Xyratex SAN units listed below were just replaced with the HP 2112FC units and were sitting on the floor out of view.
=================================================================
XYRATEX F-5402-E 12-BAY SAS/SATA ENCLOSURE, DUAL 4G FC CONTROLLER, RAILS
(USED)
$650 OBO Each (2)
Complete and functional Xyratex F-5402-E storage controller shelf, recently removed from operation in my VM 5.5 Datacenter lab. Unit is clean and ready for operation as a fiber-channel SAN. Supports direct fiber attach of 2 servers with redundant connections or integration into a switched FC environment. Mix and match SAS and SATA drives (by array), SATA drives require an (included) interposer to allow dual-channel access on single-ported drives. Each FC SAN controller module includes a 1024M Cache module, two 4G SFP modules, Ethernet port, and a battery.
This unit is ready for operation - just mount in your rack and install drives! Up to 2TB SAS drives are supported for 24TB capacity. Xyratex has one of the best array configuration & management interfaces in the business. I have personally used 750G and 1TB SATA as well as 300 & 600G 15K SAS and 2TB 7.5K SAS drives in these units to support my VMware 5.5 lab.
Configuration includes:
* RS-1220 Expansion Chassis - 12 x 3.5" bays, SAS Backplane
* 2 x Power Supplies
* Cooling Module
* 2 x SAS to 4G Fiber Channel Controller Modules
* Complete Rack-Rail set
* 12 x SAS/SATA 3.5" Drive Trays
* 14 x SAS-SATA Interposer (dongle) (12 for drives + 2 spares)
* CD with all related documentation, drivers, and software (no drivers or software are required for standard operation, however!)
At my requested price, I'll also include the following to get you up and running quickly with 2 servers.
* 2 x 3m LC-LC Fiber interconnect cables
* 2 x Emulex LP-11000 4G FC HBA cards (PCIe)
I have two of these SAN units available.
Also available are a pair of Brocade 4100 16/32 and 200e 8/16 Enterprise FC SAN switches. All licensed ports include a 4Gbps SFP module. Several SATA and SAS Enterprise drives are also available.

This unit is ready for operation - just mount in your rack and install drives! Up to 2TB SAS drives are supported for 24TB capacity.
Configuration includes:
* RS-1220 Expansion Chassis - 12 x 3.5" bays, 3Gbps SAS Backplane
* 2 x Power Supplies

HP DL580-G5, 4xQC 2.93GHz; 32G RAM, 4x146G SFF, RAILS & CABLE MGMT
(USED)
$650 OBO Each (2)
A high-performance 4-U server ideally suited for virtualization environments. This was part of a 3-node cluster running VMware 5.5 (I'm currently selling 2 of the 3 nodes). With 16 cores and 16 Gig of RAM, this configuration can easily host 20-25 VM guests. Only half of the RAM slots are used, so you can upgrade to 64G directly and 128G with mezzanine cards (available on eBay). A SAS RAID card supports up to 8 drives - 4 146G SAS drives are included.
Configuration includes:
* Four Quad-Core 2.93 GHz CPUs (16 cores total)

* Drive trays for IBM, Dell server, and Xyratex/Compellent ($8 ea, ltd qtys)
=================================================================
SHIPPING
I add a fair and reasonable amount for "handling" in addition to the actual shipping cost for the items I sell. The handling fee covers the cost of a NEW shipping carton plus appropriate packing materials. For lighweight items, I will wrap them in bubble-wrap and place high-density foam at each end of the carton to prevent crushing. For heavier items, I will use high-density foam to line the carton and surround the item with a cushioning material, or use original factory packing if available. My goal is to insure that the items arrive in good working condition - just as I would like to receive them when I am the buyer!
Depending on the size/weight of the item, the carton and packing material can cost between $7 and $25.
If you are nearby, pickup can be arranged to avoid shipping costs, and no handling fee will be charged. We are located in the NJ Meadowlands area. I'll meet you "half way" if you're nearly close enough for $25 per 60 miles traveled, up to 120 miles.
PM or reply with questions or if you want additional pictures.
Thanks for looking!
