I do have dual P and PPro netservers gathering dust in the garage. Unfortunately their combined weight is probably more than what I weigh so I can't get rid of them easily...
The best source of ancient hardware I have found is friends who work at company IT departments. Actual IT companies tend to have pretty new hardware (and loads of employees who carry the old hardware away), the departments seem to have more space for ancient servers (which are so heavy nobody dares to try lifting them...) You could try posting an ad in a newspaper or something - usually it's someone else in the company complaining about the accumulated junk that causes them to start looking for someone who will carry them away, so there are many potential people who might be able to help. Of course, you shouldn't forget the people who have made the same mistake as I: never bring servers, especially ones you hardly can carry, home. They will probably be happy to let you take them away. -- Jussi Peltola
