I am offering six old computer towers with Linux pre-installed for pickup in the William Whyte neighbourhood in the North End.

Each has a cdrom drive, floppy drive, built in usb, built-in or sound card, network card, video card, power cable, and xubuntu 8.04 installed with installation CD included (http://xubuntu.com/). In all cases a RAM upgrade is recommended for better enjoyment.

A mouse, keyboard, or monitor is not included. I also have some old mice and monitors that you could optionally take as well.

Tower #1 350MHZ PII 3.2 GB hard disk 128M of RAM

Tower #2 400MHZ PII 2 x 1.0 GB hard disks 128M of RAM

Tower #3 400MHZ Celeron 4 GB hard disk 128M of RAM AGP slot is damaged, has pci video card

Tower #4 AMD K6-333 has battery problems 2 GB hard disk 128M of RAM usb is disabled, when enabled there are errors related to it

Tower #5 400MHZ PII, clocked 350MHZ for better stability This one does crash occasionally, but is mostly usable, it could perhaps benefit from a fan. 8 GB hard disk 128M of RAM

Tower #6 400MHz PII, clocked at 350 for better stability 2.5 GB hard disk 128M of RAM

4 serial (RS232) mice. (requires special configuration, I need advance notice to configure a computer for this)

2 PS/2 mice

--------------

two 14" monitors - working fine

one 14" monitor, is very dim, even with max contrast and brightness

one 14" monitor, has a very ugly blotch of scratches in the center, but is generally readable, 85% of the screen is fine.

two 15" monitors, with colour problems
