OT: old bits free to a good home

2007-11-23 Thread Roy Britten
As per the subject line, old components free to anyone who wants them.
One each of Compaq, Dell, Digital beige boxen, none currently
bootable, Pentium I or II, RAM probably dodgy, FDD and CD readers
probably OK, ethernet ports probably old and slow, no modems.
Assortment of HDDs, unlikely to be larger than 2 or 4 GB.

One horrible old keyboard.

Also the neighbour's CRT, untested but claimed to work, Philips, looks
to be 15.

Contact me offlist if you want to save any or all from the dump.

Relevance? Er, you might be able to use parts for a low-spec
firewall/router running Linux.

Cheers,
Roy.

More of a collaboration of ideas from around the net. Which has been 
niggling in my head for quite a while now.

Check out SOWN[1] (although the wiki has been quiet of late) which is 
an interesting project. Their topology ideas[2] are very interesting.

The soekris hardware[3], especially the net4521 along with a weather 
proof case would be really easy to mount in a small space on 
buildings etc.

Pebble linux[4], based of Debian looks like a very useful project.

I have some more stored in my brain somewhere but I have to go to work 
right now.

and not without a large aerial at taht distance from sugarloaf! Kinda

Subject:Laptop HD - Free to a good home

I have a suspect laptop Hard Drive to give away.

It was frequently giving the blue screen of death in Windows 2000, even half
way through a reinstall. Maybe some clever person can make it useful with
Linux.

Model = IBM IC25N020ATDA04-0

20 Gb

Free to a good home

2003-02-05 Thread Robert Fisher
I have just built a new PC for a friend and have the remains of his old
one free to a good home.

Pentium 100Mhz (and case)
16 Mb RAM
Trio 1Mb video card
Keyboard
No drives

Might be good for a firewall.

Free to a good home...

2002-12-28 Thread Chris Hellyar
Continuing the spirit of giving...  

I've just upgraded a machine for a friend, and have the old motherboard 
here...  I thought I might be able to use it, but decided I've got 
enough junk already :-).

It's a gigabyte GA-586UX, with a pentium 133 and fan onboard.  It's an 
ATX formfactor board, with 4*PCI, 4*ISA, 2 serial, parallel and no USB. 
It takes 72pin simms.

The board is bare, so no ram, and no video.  Just the M/B and chip.

I just tested it, the board needs simms in pairs as many of the earlier 
ATX boards did, but appart from that it works fine.

First come, first served etc.

Cheers, Chris H.



2 * full tower AT cases free to a good home..

2002-10-12 Thread Chris Hellyar
Hi-ho,

In the continuing saga of me cleaning out my garage, I've got two full tower
AT form factor cases to give away..
Both are full towers, stand about 1m high.  They are empty, ie: no
motherboards etc.  Both have holes for extra fans etc.

- one with six external 5.25 slots, no internals and 200W powersupply  Has
wheels, so it goes fast :-).

- one with four external 5.25, one external 3.5, and two internal 3.5's.
And a 300W powersupply from memory..

If you're interested in either, email me off list.

Cheers, Chris.

I'd love it. Please? 

If nobody else is going to jump in, when/where can I pick it up from and
is it more of a trailer job or would it fit in a van?

 Gents,
 
 We have a Xerox Liveboard to give away. It is not what you would call
 portable but it does seem a shame to dump it (they were worth $70,000
back
 in 1995). I have struggled to find up to date web-sites about it but
there
 is one below.

 Gents,

 We have a Xerox Liveboard to give away. It is not what you would call
 portable but it does seem a shame to dump it (they were worth $70,000 back
 in 1995). I have struggled to find up to date web-sites about it but there
 is one below.

 The computer spec of our model is a Compaq 486 DX-66.
 I think that the display can be set up to accept an input from another
 computer.

 I have until Thursday to save it from the dump.

 (Nick, as I cannot send to the CLUG from work maybe you could pass this
on)
