Now that I have almost completely migrated over to my new machine the old one is up for grabs.
I can't remember exactly when I built it, I think it was some time early 2001, but at the time it was a pretty cutting edge machine. (in fact for a while it was the top of the single processor list at the bogomips register)

Now however it is sitting redundant and unloved.
Details Super expensive coolermaster Aluminium case (cost over £100 back then) AMD 1 Ghz Athlon 640MB RAM 40GB Seagate Barracuda HDD (there were more but I've nicked them) Pioneer DVD (A04) DVD-R/RW * see note below DVD ROM drive Floppy (a new one) ATI Rage 128 card (again I've nicked the Nvidia card that was in it) 3Com NIC Creative live 256 gold (or something like that) sound card (more inputs and outputs than you'll ever need) It's an Abit kt7-raid board so the drive is running on a highpoint raid controller and each of the optical drives is on it's own channel on the VIA controller. 300W PSU Logitec Wireless Keyboard and Mouse combo
Naturally this machine was built to run Linux and apart from a brief flirtation with Windows XP that is all it has ever run. Everything is detected and installed with ease on our favourite Operating System.
It will come with SuSE 9.1 preinstalled (and an installation DVD-R)
To be honest the CPU fan is sounding a bit stressed so that will be replaced before it is sold. Also the DVD Writer has had a tendancy to make DVD coasters recently. Not sure if it's the cheapo media I have been using or the drive on it's way. You should probably presume that the drive has had it, I am only leaving it in place on the chance that it is configuration or media.
This has been a great machine, enjoying uptime only limited by SuSE's kernel update release cycle. I would love to see it go to another Linux user as that was what it was built for.
£150.00
Also
Dell P991 19" monitor (is exactly the same as a Sony model) Trinitron flat faced screen, happy up to 1600x1200 but I ran it at 1280x1024
A really nice monitor but it's big and HEAVY £50
Or the machine plus the monitor for £185
Also
Yamaha 8x4x24 SCSI CDR/W (yes it is a bit slow, but I swear it has NEVER made a coaster under Linux) in an external SCSI case (Ultra D-Sub connector) Plus an Adaptec SCSI card (linux friendly) and all the leads to use the Yamaha either internally or in the external case. £20
Plextor Ultraplex 40x Max PX-40TSi SCSI CD-ROM
I used this with the kit above, the plex internally and the Yamaha in the external case (although I do have another external case for the plex if needed) Probably a bit redundant now but at the time this drive was the fastest way to rip CD-Audio. £10
Or everything listed above for £200
