Warm Greetings To GTALUG,
There is a Toronto-based non-profit ISP -- Toronto
Free-Net http://www.torfree.net/ that
provides a free limited dial-up ISP service, and inexpensive dial-up and faster
services.
I use torfree as my backup dial-up ISP, in case my
paid dial-up ISP has a service interruption.
Toronto Free-Net welcomes donations of many kinds
of computer and communications (and other) equipment:

I also have a DELL 2950 with 500GB of SCSI disks and dual gigE. It can't
run either VMWare or Hyper-V, but its great for disk IO.

I was using this system as a file server for a number of
years.The motherboard is a Asus SLI/KFN5-D with 2 AMD quad core
Optron CPU's with something like 12G of ram.It also has a 3wear
8port raid controller with 8 SATA cables.The motherboard and case
are ok but the power supply had a problem and in trying to fix it managed to
fry the drives and drive enclosures.There are 2 4 drive SATA holders
and 5 drive SATA holder but unfortunately the back-plane electronics look to
be fried.If someone wants it they are welcome to it otherwise it
will be going to the recycling dumpster.-- Alvin Starr
