Garry,
  I don't know how much you can get these systems for, but I have seen them
in the range of 100 GBP for one with a sub 8Gb Hard drive.  A new system
with an 80 Gb drive costs 300 GBP.  Not much room for profit in that,
especially if you think about buying a new HD (~80GBP) for the old system
which you must do if you are going to use it as a file server (think data
security as well as drive space).
