Right. See reponses 43 and 48 of this item:
As for random hardware peices, I'm willing to use things like
donated monitors and keyboards, because if they fail the system
won't be affected (STeve Andre, #43).
and
You'll notice that I omitted the keyboard and monitor from the
list of things to buy. This is because of either fail, they
won't affect the running of Grex immediately. We can boot the
system up without a monitor (indeed, nost of my OpenBSD machine
have only had a monitor on them during the initial install and
upgrades), and we have spare keyboards in the pumpkin already.
So those are of a nature where a failure means we have to drag
something over to Grex and use that instead (STeve Andre, #48).

Jan,
I can lend a 15" monitor to the cause. It's easy for me to swing by
your house on my way to or from work (before 9:00 or after 6:00)
tomorrow. Call me to arrange a time (unless you want to hold out for a
bigger screen).

It's exciting to see that things are starting to move again. Thanks
Jan and the rest of the staff!

A small screen is fine. I'll call Jeff.

I've got some monitors here at work that the company is going to have to
pay to get rid of anyway. Grex would be welcome to have one. They're
14". The tubes are worn enough that the display contrast is a bit low
for Windows, but they'd work fine for text consoles. Just thought I'd
offer one in case you don't come up with something better.

We have 12 or 13" mono VGA monitors unless Jim threw them out. Do you need
color? These are easier to move around.

Jeff dropped off his 15" today. I'll use that. Thanks to all other offers.
I can temporarily loan a keybaord. My plan is to move it tonight.

OK, it's in the pumpkin.
We have a UPS issue though. The UPS in the pumpkin is at capacity, so I
couldn't plug it into that (didn't try, actually). So it's on wall power,
which is reputed to be none to clean. I don't really know what to do about
this, so I'll just hope that someone else solves the problem.

I would recommend Grex buy an inexpensive UPS if you're going to be
running the system for any length of time. It would cost under $200 and
could be used as a spare later if we ever have to take our main UPS down
for servicing again.
APC makes okay small UPS's. Stay away from Cyberpower.
