[rescue] Free Sun T5140 parts (SF Bay area)

[chris t]

I'm in Mountain View, so it's maybe a little far.  Unfortunately I can't 
really transport.

If you want it, though, I'm free any afternoon/evening this week, so if 
you happen to be coming into this area, I can probably accommodate 
whatever time is convenient for you.

So, no one to blame but myself.  I asked the seller about a refund anyway, but they quite reasonably called it buyer error, and I considered it a funny learning experience.

Eventually I bought a T5140, in as-is condition, but with the heatsinks intact.  I moved the heatsinks and a few other parts over, and now I'm giving away the rest of the machine.

Before I removed the heatsinks, I verified that it's the 8-core 1165MHz version by putting the board in my T5240.  So I'm confident the motherboard works, but the other parts are untested.
