Hi!

Quick query, and you can reply off-list as well, since this is generally OT

Anyone know where I can get my hands on older hardware? Specs along the 
lines of:

* Pentium III and above (though, PIII preferred, its got better power 
consumption)
* minimum of 256MB of RAM (512MB will be a steal!)
* a CDROM drive
* 20GB and above hard disk
* monitors (CRTs are going out of fashion, so I'm sure they're aplenty)
* keyboard, mouse, included I hope

If you know of any companies wanting to get rid of these items, for no 
cost, or minimal cost, I'll find the transport to take it off their hands

Why? To re-purpose them as FOSS boxes, and place them at community 
centres for the needy

	thanks and kind regards
