Looks like they are giving away Pentium II 266 and 233 machines. Still perfectly usable.

Check out the 'Used Base Units' link on the front page.

Hi - probably a stupid questions to many - but is a used base unit basically a computer without a mouse / keyboard / screen?

All working with no software?

Or is it just the computer case with a fwe bits left inside that you still have to augment with other hardware?

Thanks for any help,

Potty.

Looks like they have some pii 350 machines as well.

Great for building a proper hardware Firewall/Router using:

or

Could also be used for trying Linux (alternative to windows) for the first time as all the software is free to download.

Go on - give it a try!!
