Are you able to bring this stuff to a LUV meeting?
May be difficult.. I generally work 2-10pm shifts in the city (near Lonsdale and Elizabeth). That said, I could potentially bring stuff in to the office on a weekend when I usually drive in, and have it available for pickup.
* Pentium, PPro, P3, P4, Cel D etc. and up computers (one even has a Video Blaster SE100 in it, with the cables) * Many assorted IO cards (ISA, VLB)
I'm interested in 800MHz+ P3 systems and 1GHz+ Celeron systems if they are complete (IE motherboard, CPU, and PSU - everything but disks and RAM).
All the P3 and higher boxes are generally complete. P3 is an IBM PC GL300 and may not meet your minimum clock speed spec, I'd need to boot it to confirm (am pretty sure it's the cartridge style of P3 CPU). Probably even have the disks and RAM. I know I have at least one Celeron D which will probably meet your clock speed requirements (its GPU needs a better fan - it's admittedly a bit jury rigged right now, but it's functional - damn shitty GPU fans).. There are some other systems I haven't booted in awhile that may also be celerons. Multiple complete P4s (Dell Dimension).
* HP DL380 (G3 I think) * IBM xSeries 336
What type of CPU, how much RAM, and how loud are they? From memory they are both 2RU systems so they shouldn't be really loud. I've got some plans for LUV training that can be really assisted by a 2RU system that's not too noisey (I wanted to use the Sun 1RU system we have but was rejected because of noise).
Both Xeons.. I'd have to check the ram, minimum 8 I'd reckon.. Admittedly they can be bloody noisy when fans are running at full tilt. The DL380 is a 2RU with SCSI drives (x4 from memory), the IBM is a 1RU with at least two drives. I'll have to boot them up... *adds to do list*
I'm thinking a trip to local eWaste collection point might be in order, but before turfing stuff, like to see if it'll get another go.
Thanks for making this offer.
No worries - I know not all of it will be of interest to folks, but I reckon if someone can use it, then that's one less thing in waste stream.
If you have any SATA disks and DDR2/DDR3 RAM to give away then that would be appreciated for the hardware library.
Probably more PATA than SATA floating about not in a machine... and *gasp* at least one of the older "two cable" (MFM RLL?) drives. Anthony --
