Resending here, for the archives and anyone who might have missed it on the 
main OLUG thread...

I have a full height server rack that could be used. Also a PowerEdge 6400 (2x
512 MHz) that I use for family email, website, etc. It's setup for OpenVZ,
though I haven't actually used it on that machine yet.

I currently have my own just-me game and VPS hosting company using dedis in 
Texas, Connecticut, and London. Is the scope of this project merely 
colocation, or maybe we should offer VPS hosting as well? ;)

As far as bandwidth management, something to consider might be agreeing to set 
reasonable QoS flags, and having a router that honours them. So any bulk 
transfer would get flagged as low-priority while VoIP type stuff could be 
flagged as minimize-latency.
