Ok, just to keep the thread going, Fidonet can use the bits...   :)


My BBS is running on Synchronet 3.14a on a system running in my garage. The 
hardware is almost 100% scavenged:


The case belonged to Dr. Strangelove, who ran Just Say Yes and 
NIRVANanet(tm) way back when. He gave it to me out of gratitude for 
babysitting his systems while he was out of the country.

The power supply came from somewhere unknown. It makes horrid whining noises 
for no reason but exudes power.

The motherboard is a $14.95 Socket 370 mobo from a closeout at geeks.com

The CPU was scavenged from a Sony Vaio desktop machine that I grabbed off 
the street during bulky pickup day. I bricked the original system trying to 
flash the BIOS with a non-Sony ASUS image. Despite the fact that they OEMed 
the mobo from ASUS, they modified it so ASUS BIOSes wouldn't work.

The hard drives (2x100, 2x120) all came from dead systems at work.

The RAID controller is a cheap Silicon Image controller bought for $4.95 
from some random site on techbargains.com

The memory was scavenged from the aforementioned Sony.

Ditto for a Nvidia Riva TNT2 video card.

The Kingston 10/100 ethernet card came from someone who got DSL and got the 
card for free.

The monitor came off a Sun Ultra 10 donated by a client.

The keyboard and mouse came from a Dell computer at work and are slightly 
yellow on one side.

Windows XP came from an older system.
