I just collected a new PC carcase this morning which

my local Freegle group (i.e., Freecycle by another name) last night.
Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme 6850, 3GHz, 8GB DDR2 RAM. I fitted my own
disks and graphics card.
Apparently, that is the level of specification some people are
throwing out now. Quite remarkable.
It's jolly nice and very fast, though!
Yesterday I heard somebody on this list scored an Xserve G5 and 5TB
Xserve RAID being junked. If you've ever used this kind of gear ...
that's kind of a nice deal. :)
