I have ~70lbs of perfectly good networking gear sitting on my basement floor.
I just snagged a Cisco Catalyst 2948G on eBay because I felt I was doing my Catalyst 4006 quite a bit of dishonor making it power my dinky little home network.
It took a bit of effort doing it solo, but I managed to unscrew the old switch from my two-post rack and I now have a complete, fully functional 4006 sitting on the floor collecting dust and killing shins. Three redundant PSUs, a Supervisor-II module and two WS-X4232-GB-RJ cards lay in wait.
What should I do with it?... End table for my living room?... Conversation piece?... Boat anchor? Does anybody buy these things anymore?
Suggestions are greatly appreciated. :)
