It might be more trouble than it is worth, but do you want me to send you the AMD 500 Linux box I have it serve as the new mail server? If you can use it I'm more than happy to send it but if another solution is easier/makes more sense (like having Lee's ISP host WikiTech-L) then I'm cool with that too.
I don't want to force hardware on anybody - all I want is for the developers to be able to talk to each other via a mailing list when the Wikipedia server is down.

I am confident that we can find a place for the mailing lists on one of our current servers...
A tower style case wouldn't do well in our cage, since we don't have much room left. I haven't spoken to Jimbo yet, but I think we probably have an idea in mind that will work out okay.
We do appreciate the offer, though.

I'd just like to make it clear that Mav's offer of my server is not unilateral on his part--my rackspace is yours, too, such as it is. But if you're well-supplied, that's fine. I don't think the risk of all your servers being down at once is significant. When San Diego falls into the ocean after the big one, we'll have bigger problems than Wikipedia. :-)
