There was a discussion on the NZLUG recently about the availability of OS-less ex-lease boxen - apparently, most of them suffer from the MS tax due to their old licenses being no longer transferrable, or something to that effect.
I thought I would throw it out there that I am in the process of starting a small ex-lease thing, and I would gladly supply cheap, OS-less boxen if the demand is there, and perhaps somebody would like to contact existing ex-lease sellers around Christchurch about supplying OS-less boxen for a lower price and compile a Linux-friendly supplier list on the CLUG wiki? Hope nobody minds, but... == blatant plug time == I have a bunch of these boxen, currently: Intel Celeron 2.0GHz 512MB DDR RAM 40GB HDD Broadcom GigE CD-ROM Drive Floppy Drive (remember those? -- neither do I) They came with 17" CRTs, too, so those can be had providing it is being picked up or the extra shipping is paid (for... uh... across town) These I can supply for ~$200 each, give or take. == blatant plug time ends == Thoughts? Cheers, Edwin.
