Request for hardware donation

Who can donate some hardware to me? It would be only for a few weeks, and then I will return the hardware when I'm finished.

Why? Because I want to do some experiments with iSCSI on Linux, using iSCSI Enterprise Target, the iSCSI initiator from the Linux-iSCSI project and the Microsoft iSCSI initiator, do performance tests and compare the performance of the different filesystems with the performance of network filesystems like NFS and SMB.

What hardware do I need? Two reasonably fast computers (fast enough to handle GBit ethernet), GBit ethernet cards, a GBit ethernet switch and the right cables, and one of two computers should have a dedicated SCSI harddisk.

What is the outcome? First of all, I will write a report about the performance tests, and publish it. You will be given credits as donator.

If you can donate all or parts of the required equipment, please contact me. If you write an email to some @synflood.at address, please be aware that I will able to answer tomorrow evening, because I fucked up my mail server today in the morning, and neither fetchmail nor ssh are currently running, so I cannot even fix it remotely. :-/
