[Nottingham] Hardware recycling?

[James of the family Moore]

yes please, I'm looking out for some Athlon boards, possibly
dual-processor, for stress-testing and deployment in a couple
fileservers, and I can throw together some basic machines for selling
on ('cos, yanno, some people aren't in to all-singing-all-dancing
decahead home supercomputers! :) ). A fellow down the road from me is
a scrap metal merchant, I could look into asking him to come collect
those cases from you. I can collect some of the smaller stuff, I have
a trailer hitch on my bike.

Cheers,

Jim
