Hi Andrea,
I had been using it as a combination NAS / MythTV back-end / Squeezebox
server and general purpose desktop, and I've never found it lacking CPU or

Hi all,
As I'll soon be skipping the country, I'm having a bit of a clear-out.
Needing a good home is my trusty IBM workstation. It's a few years old

recently for crunching
Hi Tony,
It's an IBM Intellistation A, type 6217 (according to wikipedia).
