Yes, I intended that to be off list... BUT:

While shipping would kill me to offer these to everyone, this offer does
extend to anyone in Cedar Falls while there are drives on the top of the

servers that Intel donated to me last year through the Supercomputing
Education program.  (The same goes for anyone wanting long SATA cables.)
