I'm using most of the hardware I have to run Linux already. I have a PI  and a 
K6 (VIA chipset) machine both of which will need some coaxing to run linux. I 
have various bits and pieces including spare cases and 14" monitors left 
over. Tuesday is a good day to find me at the Assembly Rooms.

It's worth checking. I didn't manage to completely clean them out on my last 
visit. ;)
