This ends up costing us quite a bit more than buying 
one-generation-out-of-date used servers.  If a colo provider has 
reasonable support rates, then it seems like shipping hardware to them 
to set up is a more reasonable option.

Be careful with suggestions like this that require volunteers to expend 
extra effort on a bureaucratic requirement that will seldom lead to 
useful outcomes.  It's hard enough to find volunteers as is.
