Does anybody know where I might be able to pick up a few pentiumIII/late PeniumII machines at a knockdown price? Nah, prolly not. If you did you'd buy em yourselves I supose, but still, ideas on where to look would be nice. I fancy an experiment in building a SETI crunching cluster out of old machines. Purely to see what I can get out of them, ant to see if the whole really is larger than the sum of it's parts
google is your friend. Lots of people online sell old parts at a premium ofcourse Best place to find old machines is garage sales and Goodwill type stores. I am always seeing PII and earlier machines at garage sales for next to nothing.
There are some shops here that do some quite good deals. For example, a p3 ( CuMine ) 600 for 145€ , which includes 128mb of PC133 Ram, a 12GB HDD, CDRom, keyboard/mouse & a 15" screen. It's nothing fancy but you can't beat that price. It's better to look at local shops that way you don't have to pay for shipping or anything. *Edit* Soul doesn't have anything left for sale.
