Hi Oliver,

I have all the hardware you need and would be more than happy to donate
it to you. Would you need all the external components like monitor and
drives or just the //e?

All my //e's are European Apples so they are 220 volt.

Anyway, I am situated in South Africa so if anybody is travelling
between SA and Germany and can help please let me know. Postage is an
option but can be rather expensive.
