[Cialug] OT - Looking for surplus power supplies

I've seen a lot of "free" tech end up on our list.  I wanted to throw a
search out for free/cheap....
I had a set of hot-swap server power supplies I was going to use, but they
seem to have gone missing after my move...I'm not sure they made it to the
new house.  My intent is to find 1 or more power supplies I could convert
for use for charging RC/LiPo batteries.  I recently bought a new charger
and it's currently incompatible with the smaller "brick" supply I had (new
one uses banana plugs, old one had a barrel jack).  I'd cut the jack and
wire it, but I currently plan on keeping the brick supply for the old
charger and could use a higher output one for the new charger.  There's
tons of examples of using server supplies online, but I can no longer find
mine.  If anyone has any old junk supplies (or servers) lying around I'd be
interested.

Thanks!
