Re: [tlug] (New to Tokyo) Where to find server/network equipment in Akihabara or anywhere within Tokyo?

[S Gibson <terryteo@example.com>]

I have found Yahoo auction to be a good place to buy cheap equipment
such as switches and routers. A quick search for rails brought up
quite a few options:

You will probably need some Japanese skills though to buy that way.

Also, a number of the data centers I did work in when I was in Japan
had bits and pieces lying around and were more than happy to "lend"
them (very useful if you have travelled a long way and forgotten
screws....).
