Spare Desktop anyone?

[lalalalalalalalalalala]

Not sure this is the right forum but

 

Im in need of a spare test machine, the motherboard in the one I have has just given up. Im just wondering if anyone/school has a spare desktop around?

 

I don't need a monitor/mouse/keyboard.

 

I don't need an OS.

 

I would like a small desktop(I had a shuttle, so something that size or the size of a dell optiplex sort of thing), that runs quietly (I want to leave it on all the time).

Not an awful spec, but like 1.2Ghz, 256 RAM, 30GB+, Network card.

 

I am willing to pay by paypal/cheque.

 

Anyone help?

Have you had a look on Ebay?

Evil! At one of my schools over half the PCs are 300MHz and 600MHz. This isn't changing for quite a long time either (we are getting a new ICT Suite in soon but the classroom PCs are still going to be the old ones).

Depending on the Head we may be removing quite a few P4 2.4GHz computers and although I'd like to put them to use in another building I may have to get rid of them to pupils, parents, staff and other schools maybe for a small fee but not much?

 

We're based in Walsall so it's not too far?

 

If we have to get rid of them I'll let you know ASAP if you're interested?

I know where you are coming from _Bat_ Quite a few of my computers are as old as that. Er - anyone got anything better going spare?

We are getting one new suite but all the other computers in both schools I work in are very slow - no money for new ones - deficit budgets etc

 

I am near Poole in Dorset

I too would be very interested in better computers (i'm fairly certain the school would not say no to an opportunity such as this). I am in Yardley in Brum. I'd be happy to arrange collection (somehow) and the school would have to agree on the cost as my office has never been in charge of budget.
