I received a confusing email from the donor of this item; it sounded like he
was removing the system from the auction and mailing it to someone else.  I
asked if I had understood correctly, and haven't received a reply yet.

I will enter more as I know more.

OK, Joshua says he still wants to donate the ssytem to the Grex auction, but
that in gathering it together he realized that the monitor is missing.

So this item contains everything listed in #0 except the monitor.  I think
we should start the bidding over again; would anyone like to bid $25 for the
system?

Oh, and I want to apologize to everyone for the confusion about this item,
especially those who bid on it.
