Dear list,

A bloke is selling 'reasonable boxes' for $89

I hate to see computers going to waste.
Can anyone suggest  good uses for the boxes?

There are only so many firewalls and print servers you can make <grin>

"Acer PII 266 Desktop 3.2Gb HDD, 64M SDRAM, FDD, LAN, Soundcard, videocard
$89, minimum 5 units"

Hmmm.... Firewall, mail server, games box, 'doze test bed (eek !!), print server, and when all else fails DOORSTOP.

That price (if it has a cd-rom) doesn't sound too bad..
