Hello,

I would very much appreciate it if I could claim the IBM Power server.
I have been interested in IBM's Power architecture and its supporting
hardware for quite a while now. There are not many machines sold on
the secondhand market and I do not have the funds to purchase one in
that way. The specs are mostly irrelevant as long as it has a Power
CPU, but they would be nice to know.

The use for the machine would be to experiment with the novel
architecture while maintaining it with Gentoo, which would likely
spill over into providing support for Gentoo on IBM Power.

I will try to catch you on IRC, but hopefully you receive this message as well.

Respectfully,
