Not a fest, but a store that is a good source for parts, old computers and old software in Northern Virginia is L&Y Electronics, 14824 Build America Dr. Woodbridge, VA. They are located on Route 1, near Potomac Mills. Not open on Sundays. They have plenty of PC and Mac equipment and occasionaly Suns and SGIs.
I have done a few sudden power-off tests with XFS-SGI/RedHat and Reiser/Mandrake. I had disk corruption with Reiser once, but once is all it takes to ruin your weekend.
XFS has been rock solid. My employer has been using XFS on SGI servers for years without problems. The XFS for Linux site is here: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/
I have only done one power-off test with ext3 and it performed as it should.
I have not done any speed benchmarking between the different types yet.

I installed it on a spare box a few days ago. The default filesystem is ext3. It also has migrations tools to convert existing ext2 partitions.
