Wanted: Old Pc

Wanted: Old Pc

I'm after an PC to use as a hardware firewall and gateway.

Can't be arsed to buy a router, and this will be better experience

Anything over 300mhz with 64MB RAM + will be fine.

Looking at LOW price....

Any offers?

Ive got a 350mhz which would be perfect for that, you can have it for nothing

Nice one!!

Cheers

How much memory does it have?

64 meg i think, not sure probably got another 64 you could have aswell

cheers!!

Seems to be my lucky week

I'll give you a PM sometime soon then.

lol.. I've got 14 Pentium 90 based machines if you know anyone whos after one..

pentium 90

Now that is old skool!

That will surely struggle to run windows 3.1!!!! and will surely die with anything more graphical

What you doing with all that anyway? The boxes you are keeping them in are probably worth more than the machines

A plce I was workin in as a contractor was gettin torn down.. and we were told we can have anythin we want as it was all gonna be scrap..

Ended up with..

Then 14 P90s with 14" monitors to match..

3 Sun Workstations.. but they opnly have 8Meg RAM

3 19" monitors to match the workstations.. the have some kind of wierd ass connection on em

3 HP Laserjet printers..

a Cisco 3000 (I think it might be a switch)

A network cabinet with what I presume is either a 48 port hub/ switch / router and all the other relevant gear.

Majority of it is goin up on ebay

network cabinet eh!

What kit is in it?

Ain't got a clue..

it looks like a 48 port gizmo..
doesn't have any form of Identification on it though :spangled:

I'll have to take a closer look and a photo..

it was used for an office system

Ah right, just cos I will be needing a switch

Granted not a 48 port one but if its cheap....

lol.. I'll see of there are any smaller ones knockin about..

How much would ya offer for the 48 incidently?

a good home and my undying gratitude

Angel -

Does the PC have USB ports and a network card by any chance?

No big deal if it hasn't like, will just save me having to buy one!

No it doesnt, but they only cost around £5 each

Re: Wanted: Old Pc

why u need that sorta spec just for a firewall/gateway?

How much u wanting for the p90's?

How much ram they got and they got PCI slots yeh?

That's ok just checking

I will sort somethin over the next few days if thats ok, watch ur PM's

Sleepy - Just going on what I read really. And since it's free, i'm hardly going to pay for an inferior machine just becuase I might not need a 350mhz machine! I will probs use it for storage too.

Angel, are you the board first real she-geek

Actually, you must be, since none of the others have even heard of USB

Nah, i just pretend to know what im talking about .....

google for this:

linux firewall floppy

linux firewalls that can run off a single floppy disk
