This should be in the classifieds, but no one would notice and this is my target audience.
I'm looking to build a cheap file server. I just scored a free Micron P2 266mhz system with 64mb sd100 memory, 3gb harddrive, 10/100 network card, sound card, cd, floppy, and zip. Also got a newer 17" Gateway monitor. Pretty much all I wanted out of it all was the monitor, keyboard, mouse, case, psu, cd, and floppy. I'm looking for a free or very cheap P3 cpu and motherboard to put in. I've got XP running on the system for now (until I get Server 2003 next week) and it's killing the system.
Does anyone have some stuff they're looking to get rid of? I need at least a 500mhz cpu, but preferabbly better. This system is going to have a large harddrive thrown in and be my dvd burn & download box, in addition to housing all my music and videos. Any time I'm copying movies, it takes up my whole system, so I want another machine to do some of the grunt work.
What I'm looking for that I know you guys have laying around, not being used: DVD drive, P3 and motherboard or AMD Athlon cpu and motherboard, and sd100/133 ram.
I will pay shipping costs, and if it's actualy decent parts, some extra cash. I've also go stuff to trade. Namely a Linksys 10/100 5 port switch, video card, etc. Nothing special.
Again, I'm not looking to build a high or mid range computer. Just something that'll run Server 2003. Let me know what you want to get rid of.
