Hi All,
Come to think of it; I have 2 routers, that apparently ran Linux in some
sort of embedded fashion. 3 ethernet ports, plus maybe an rs232 if I
remember right. I'm having a clearout so they are of course free to a
good home. Power supply was 5V 2A.
Pardon my sketchy memory.
Cheers,
Peter

But I think nowadays I'd be more inclined to leverage a nice quiet,
cheap, small and low-power Raspberry Pi 2 than an old Dell.
For the price of power saved by sending the Dell to landfill you could
buy an RPi. It is not necessarily more ecological to keep clunky old
space heaters going.
My problem with RPi is the lack of a SATA connection. Can't properly and
reliably connect bigger hard disks. Main storage on USB2.0 bridges?
Really? And the throughput sucks of course when everything (Ethernet,
disk IO, you name it) goes over the same USB bus.
Not quite the 50c computer, but pretty close! :)
Yeah right. By the time you're kitted out with a running RPi in NZ
you've spent into the 3 digits.
