Dibs!

Of course, I should be asking what you really have. I really don't have any cash. I have to admit I wouldn't mind it if you found an early PowerPC and were to happen to send it my way.

Already have one of those, but it would be nice to have one with a properly working audio chip.

I know there is one all-in-one PPC, I'll see if I can't grab it.

What are these...freebies? This isn't just someone leaving their dorm room unlocked is it?

No, the IT department is going through and junking a lot of their stuff. I picked up a server with 1GB of RAM, quad-processing (although according to Steve the IT guy they could never get more than one processor working simultaneously), and a bunch of hot-swappable hard drives. It, unfortunately, is old, and Socket 8 (Pentium Pro). I don't know what speeds the processors are, either. However, you can pull out all the boards (even the RAM boards) which is nifty so I imagine that there is a way to upgrade components to more modern stuff. All the hot-swap drives are 4.3GB which sucks, and I'm not sure where/if I'll be able to get newer, larger drives to replace them with. (They are all SCSI. One in the array is failed, and the backup drive is also failed.) I also got 5 DDS2 backup tapes, a few old tape backup drives, a bunch of ethernet cards, a really, really old SiiG hard drive controller, a 2MB floppy controller, some 2.88MB floppy drives, some more RAM, a few more P133s... all in all, a nice stash, although Craig (another one of the IT people) threw away a box filled with old software that I could've made lots of money on!! (Reems of software since they needed the licenses for them all but everything was off a network drive so they only needed one CD.) 😭 Oh well, I guess.

Yes, it’s my fault.
