[Cialug] Fibre Channel HBAs for trade

I have three QLogic fibre channel HBAs that I don't have a use for if
anyone is interested:
2x QLogic QLA2200 PCI-X 1Gbps Copper Fibre Channel card (1x HSSDC connector)
1x QLogic QLA2340 PCI-X 2Gbps Optical Fibre Channel card (1x LC connector)
I found a nice fibre channel SAN on ebay, and the two copper HBAs came
with it. The optical HBA I found at Dymin Systems in the used parts bin
for $5 and couldn't resist buying it. Since I don't have any real use
for the SAN with my server, I have no need of the cards (my home PC,
which is what I got the SAN for, doesn't have PCI-X slots, only PCI-e).
I have no real way of guaranteeing that these cards work, though the two
copper HBAs are 'guaranteed no DOA' by the guy I got the SAN from, for
what that's worth... They also were packaged in anti-static bags. The
optical HBA was just thrown in with a bunch of sound cards and modems in
the parts bin without any sort of static bag, and Dymin sold it on a no
refund, no guarantee basis.
I would trade all three of the cards for 6 standard PC power cables of
any length, 3 power cables for servers in a Y-adapter sort of
configuration, or any combination of the two. Basically, I just need to
power a powervault 660F, 224F, and 51F, each of which has dual redundant
power supplies.
You could also get them all for the $5.30 that I spent on the optical card.
I'd like to get this worked out by Monday, which is when the PCI-e HBA I
bought should arrive, so I can get this fibre SAN tested out. Otherwise
I'll have to actually go buy power cables. :(
Any takers?
