Here's an overview of both:

Computer 1 (was my linuxbox in school, built from the egg in 2003):
Antec Tower Case (Beige) - http://www.thg.ru/howto/20020521/images/antecfront.jpg
Antec True 430 PSU
Abit IC7-G MaxII
Intel 2.4C
1GB Corsair XMS
Radeon X850

Computer 2 (built in 2002):
Generic Case Mid tower case w/ PSU
Althon 1800XP
Radeon 9700 PRO - passive cooler.
Leadtek TV/FM Tuner
1GB of RAM


All still working. Well kept (every 6 months they were cleaned of dust), probably why they still run.
Both were running linux.

I'll throw extra stuff in them for free as my computer closet is getting a 10 year overhaul. No harddisks though. (if interested, like optical drives, video cards, ide controllers, etc... stuff that is probably more donate worthy part wise)

^ yeah, if your brand new to overclocking and want practice very cheap before doing it on your i7, it's a perfect testbed. or just want a stable box to try other OSes.... my point is to fuel a ncsu student's interest cheap.

it's not free b/c i get scared of the free-crowd (they take anything...very zombie-esque :-) ) and you deal with whining of who can show up first.

I'll give you $20 for PC #2, the Radeon 9600, and the Hitachi slimline DVD-ROM <- (does this fit a small form factor old school Optiplex, like the below picture?)
