[GTALUG] computer to a good home.

[Alvin Starr via talk]

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.
