[SWLUG] Looking for some old hardware.

[Paul Jefferies]

Dominic,

You could try citc (Computers in the community), www.citcwales.org.uk . They 
have super-old machines, I volunteer there ... they are a bit over priced if 
you ask me but you can probably get what you're after ...

Incidentally, CITC seem to throw out quite a lot of cases, if you're after 
an old case and aren't fussy, they also have loads of old sims ... if you're 
desperate for a bit of old hardware they might be worth a try.

CITC recycle computers for charities and do some retail of second hand 
systems to support that; all systems are sub-Gigahertz (from what I've seen) 
and most are around 333MHz.

HTH someone,

Paul

Hi,

Sorry this isn't really GNU/Linux related, but here goes.

I'm looking for some old hardware to use as a dedicated machine for the
Asterisk PBX system. Does anyone have any old machines they'd sell? Or does
anyone know where I can get some old hardware cheaply? I've tried places
like EBay, but most of the stuff there is either way too expensive or just
not suitable (An old PII machine with 64mb RAM should be plenty).

If I can't get hold of any suitable old hardware, I'd maybe think of 
building
a nice el-cheapo box (I'm on a budget of around 100 quid, so it'd have to be
something *really* cheap.) Has anyone got any suggestions of where I can get
parts to build a workable system that cheaply?

Thanks,
Dominic
