So, does anyone want some Compaq Deskpros with P2's (I think) and 64MB RAM (and HDD, CD-ROM, network)?

I may be able to pick some up.  I'd sell 'em for $10 + shipping.

kaveman, with technology, you kind of have to do that.  The rate at which technology changes almost forces you to breeze along with it.

At any rate, Greg, tell me more about these deskpros.

cpu speed?
any expandability at all?

Well, if they are the same deskpros I have run across, they have 3  PC 66-133 slots.  They use slot PII's and have 3-4 PCI slots and 2-3 ISA slots.  They have USB and a speaker.  They have room for 1 HDD, 2 optical, and a floppy (built in).  They have an AGP slot, however, it uses a weird panel on the back.  With a riser or maybe just cutting the back apart a little, you could fit a normal AGP card in.

Someone told me they were PI's, but I'm 90% sure their PII's.  They are probably 300-400 MHz.

I'll see how many and IF I can get my hands on some.  I may also be able to grab some PIII's with 256-512MB RAM in them in the near future (meaning 6 months to 2 years...)

I've also got a PII sitting here that won't boot to anything, but it has a working PII 450MHz in it and 128MB PC 133!

I'm interested, depending on how much shipping would be.

Yeah, just let us know.  

My wife hates my little \"NSA center\" (that's what she calls it since I have 5 computers all in the same room with the monitors all cantered towards me) but oh well, she would have to get over a couple more displays :)

Eh, I'm going to need more KVMs.
