| 1114506 | 2010-06-29 08:19:00 | HI all I do some freebie work looking after a school in Wellington that has only 60 students. They are very much on the lower end of having cash to throw at IT, and their current "server" is a Duron 900! It's just someone's home PC with an IDE drive, 512MB of ram and Server 2003 installed. As you can imagine it runs like a 3-legged dog. The screen is a 14" CRT that flicks from yellow to normal, and even that is driving me crazy. Are there any corp or govt techs out there that have an old but usable server that's been depreciated to $0 and may be available for them to have? Yes a long shot, but if you don't ask you don't get. Cheers in advance for any help. |

They tend to follow a procedure, don't they all .. and tend to have a process where they dispose of them. There was a fella who sold old PCs on TM and lost his job. Was on the media. |
