[Glastonbury] Redundant boxes

Does anybody have any redundant boxes I can use to try out some Linux 
distros?

I want to experiment with a few different install CDs on low-spec PCs to 
see how they perform, but the problem is I don't have any low-spec PCs 
to hand...  you know, the Pentium generation that sort of thing... not 
too interested in 486 as I *know* they won't work as the distros say we 
need a pentium at least... I can supply memory etc. but just need a 
couple of base units really.

I know Alistair at one stage had various bits and pieces to dispose 
of... anything out there at present?

Also, I am thinking of maybe, ultimately, if I can get it to work trying 
to install a Linux intranet server in my father's office... but I need 
to first get it working in "theory"... could be the ultimate use of a 
box supplied as above...

Thanks,

Sean
