Subject: [Hampshire] Free to a good home (repost)
I have two tower systems that are free to a good home.

They both have an Asus K8V-X Motherboard and ADM64 (single core)
CPU. They both have the maximum design RAM of 2GB. They both have
AGP-8X graphics cards, onboard Gig Ethernet, parallel, serial, 2x
PS/2, onboard sound and some USB jacks. One is in a black DNUK
(OEM) case the other a silver/grey retail case. They each have
SATA HDs (~200Gb), DVD-RW and either a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM.

They are both running Debian Stable at the moment, fresh clean
install and work fine, but are not really fast enough for modern
full-fat GUIs like KDE or GNOME, but would be fine for something
lighter or headless where that doesn't matter.

If no one wants them I'll try freecycling them or breaking them
for salvageable parts - the rest going to the local recycling
centre.

The AGP graphics card does VGA, DVI-D (and so HDMI if you needed
that) and s-video. They are obviously obslete, but sometimes
people need kit like this.

I also have a much older Dell Dimension XPS-200n, which has a PentiumPro
200MHz CPU, 128 MB RAM, but does have Plextor SCSI CD-ROM and CD-R drives.
This is a very antique computer and probably no interest to anyone, unless you
want parts from it. I think it has a NetGear 100MBit CPI Ethernet card, a PCI-
SCSI controller, ISA Soundblaster card and a Matrox Millenium graphics card.
It has a 3Gb IBM PATA hard drive and a 5Gb IBM SCSI hard drive.

You'll need to collect from Overton Hampshire, or we could deliver
to Basingstoke or Andover as that is where the recycling centre
would be for them if no one wants them. All will be going to the reccling
centre within the next few weeks - we need to clear the house before we move
out of it.

The test of the goodness of a thing is its fitness for use.  If it
fails on this first test, no amount of ornamentation or finish will
make it any better, it will only make it more expensive and foolish.
