I'm in the process of building a small Debian GNU/Linux based cluster using old machines. It's something I always been interested in doing.
I've already got the boxes, some motherboard/cpus with Pentium chips on them, and the NICs. The only thing missing are the hard disks.
Has anyone got one or more they no longer need? I've managed to build the cluster for free so far, and hope to finish it in the same manner. I'd prefer sizes between 500MB and 2GB.
So, if you can help, please email me. Perhaps you could bring something along to the kit meeting at UEA on Sunday?
Just looked around. I've got a 400Mb Maxtor 7420AV and a 13Gb Western Digital 136AA hanging around. I can't get to the UEA on Sunday, but if you want them you can come and collect them. E-mail me off list if interested.
