We’re still looking for a 48-port 10/100 rackmount switch for MusicBrainz. We’d love to have something like an HP ProCurve Switch 2610-48, but we’re not keen on forking over $800 for it.
Do you have an old switch laying around that MusicBrainz could put to use? If so, we’d be glad to give you a fair market value tax-deductible receipt for it.
Leave us a comment if you can help!

If you guys are still looking are a month or two I might be able to get you a 48 port rackmount switch. It’s a non managed switch with GBIC interfaces on the back, I forget the model name.
You’d have to pay for shipping from the UK though.
I’m getting rid of some old equipment and have
the following stuff:
– Cisco 2924 (2u) (24 port)
– HP 2524 (1u) (24 port)
– Extreme Networks Summit 24 (2u) (24 port)
– HP8000M with 48 ports
All are 10/100 managed switches.
All have GIG-E fibre uplinks.
All free-to-a-good-cause.
I’m in SF, California.
I am sure, MusicBrainz will get somone to support him and sponsor its requirements.
Best Luck.
