At risk of being flamed for replying to my own message, NottsLUG is now the
proud owner of a small plethora of low-end Dell workstations which the
aforementioned company, Host Europe Internet Ltd, has agreed to write off in
an effort to remove them from our workshop :)

Small plug ahoy:

Company info:				http://www.hosteurope.com/
Virtual hosting:			http://www.webfusion.co.uk/
Dedicated Servers:			http://www.dedicated-servers.co.uk/
Domain Registration, and other stuff:	http://www.123-reg.co.uk/

This is on the understanding that they are not to be used for individual gain, 
and must be used as some sort of "community" resource for the LUG as a whole. 
If this can't be guaranteed then I can't let them out of the building...

Now it's up to someone else to find some monitors, keyboards etc. And 
somewhere to store them, preferably somewhere central.

I'll have to sort out zeroing the disks and so on before they leave the 
building. Please let me know when/where/who might (will?) be taking the 
systems.
