If people are interested in (vintage) computers Sparcs I have about 6 here:

2 x Sparc5
1 x Sparc 10
2 x Sparc 1
1 x X-Terminal

Was thinking of putting them on Ebay and hope for £10-15 a piece, though 
the X-terminal
would be free as its a bit limited.

Most of the Sparc 5's have RedHat /Debian installed and until recently. 
in the days when I had ADSL, one was hosting a small website.

Unfortuneatly no spare keyboards/mice.

Also a pile of Sparc IPX's which I was thinking of of putting a Mini-ATX
boards in.

Also I have an ancient  HP 9144 (circa late 80's ) in a mini-rack for 
the vintage Unix computer enthusiast. Runs an ancient version of HP-UX 
and is complete with a Sony 19" monitor.

Really ought to go to a museum as it has runs X (8MB RAM) and has some 
interesting CAD software installed, and has all the documentation and 
original invoices.

Also an "as new" boxed Sun Java Workstation
