[Malvern] New HDD - copying everything across

[Gerard P. Howells]

Hi all,

Looking for around £120 for the server, would need to be collected with 
good car/van (very heavy!) I've also got another Xeon 266 processor that 
I haven't got around to fitting that I'll throw in and an official 
Ubuntu 2xCD pack.  Would need to be collected from Colwall.

Any more questions give me a shout!

Gerard.
