My cluster project could use another c6100 or c6145. If you bought one of the 24-bay units and don't need it, I can convert it back to cash for you. You might be able to get more for it on eBay, but if you'd just like to move it quickly - and be sure that it'll be used for something fun that will almost certainly end up as a STH article - send me a message.

Barebones would be best to keep my costs low, but I'll consider a more fully configured unit as well. Send me a message if you can help.

Might have one for you. E-mail me tomorrow. Also may be interested in the L5630's (still thinking about these).

Just to help out a bit I'd like to remind people that if you sell something on ebay and use paypal to collect your money your average fees come out to 14% of your sale price. So if you wanted, say, 500$ for your c6100 (I have no idea, I'm just tossing a random number out there) then you could actually sell it to DBA here for 440$ and make the exact same amount as if you sold it for 500$ on ebay (actually you'd make fractionally more). Its also important to know that ebay charges that same 11% fee for your shipping costs. So if you charge them for shipping through the auction (like your supposed to) then in the case of something large (say 60$ shipping) you would actually eat 6.60$ in fee costs just to ship it to them (I am unaware if paypal charges the 2.9% for shipping as well, though I beleive they do which would push it up to roughly 8.40$).

So anyway, forum sellers, don't just search ebay "sold" listings and then use that as your price. Remember to remove 14% from your bottom sale price to account for what your going to have to spend anyway should you use ebay/paypal. Though do remember that the paypal 2.9% is there even if you don't use ebay (so only remove 11% from your bottom sale figure if they want to pay you through paypal).
