[BNM] 1&1

Tue Dec 18 12:25:46 GMT 2007

Slightly on-topic, but this reminds me I have a couple of 1U servers  
sat in the way in my 'home office'. They've each got 2 x 18Gb 10K RPM   
drives, 3Gb RAM (not sure of speed) and dual P3 1.3Ghz, from what I  
can see. Decent enough machines to run a fair bit; either at home (I  
had one up for dev stuff, but it seemed kind of excessive) or in colo.  
They are the old openDemocracy/chinadialogue colo boxes. They've been  
scrubbed of all data and are eager to get ubuntu on...

Anyway, if anyone would like to make me an offer of either cold hard  
cash or dev/design services for one or both I'd be curious.

I've also got a Dell office server that's pretty old; a whole 800Mhz  
of P3 goodness, if anyone wants to take that on for parts or anything  
(still works as far as I know, has a tape drive of some description).

Cheers!
