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.
