  • 1U or 2U servers, preferably i386 or AMD64 for our various services (web, email, revision control, ...). At least 8GB ram and room for two or more disks (we have all our system disks mirrored).
  • Large PATA disks (for our big backup/storage RAID)
  • Large SATA disks (for some of our newer hardware)
  • 16+ port console server, preferably one we can ssh to. We got one from Cyclades, it's awesome!
  • Managed Gigabit Switches (~24 ports). Bizrate got us a great little gigabit switch we use for the internal network, but it's about to be full.
  • An industrial strength NAS - NetAPP or EMC or similar.

If you have some other useful spare hardware or can help in another way, email webmaster at perl.org and we'll see if we can make use of it.
