PBW in the market for some new hardware

[geoschmo]

Sometime back we moved the PBW server to a new box that had a faster processor, more memory and HD space. The intention at the time was to keep the old server as a backup. However the site has grown to the point now though where we wouldn’t be able to put it back on the old box if we needed to. So I’ve retired the backup server. (Technically I gave it to my wife for her schoolwork, but a 5+ year old machine works for what she needs.)

What I’d like to do now is put together a new server either as a backup to the current server, or to take the place of it in which case the current would become the new backup. We’ve got some cash in the maintenance account, but before I dip into it I thought I’d post a message and see if anyone has any hardware lying around that you might want to donate, or give us a good price on if you can’t give it up for nothing.

What we’ve got now is a 1.9Ghz Pentium 4 with 1GB ram and a 40Gb HDD. If anyone’s got components, or even a whole box for that matter, that they are looking t get rid of let me know.
