If no one has one to donate, why don't you go to pricewatch.com and pick the
most affordable thing that's from a OEM you'd trust.

I'll match donations toward it up to $50.

This makes me want to scratch the UML itch. For some time, I've had the
desire to see if I could find enough interested parties to put together a
high availability UML cooperative that'd give all co-conspirators a
dedicated UML server. Something along the lines of:

http://www.stearns.org/slartibartfast/uml-coop.current.html
http://uml/openconsultancy.com

And with an eye toward the availability, load balancing, and failover
benefits of clustering by pooling expertise and resources on things like
email, dns, database, etc.  Common resources that we as individuals could
fall back on when we don't want to roll our own solution on our UML
instance.

P.S. Assuming for redundancy and failover that we could get rackspace +
bandwidth at more than one location... I'd be willing to donate considerable
more time and matching $$$ on such a project.
