Hello Everyone,
	I have a Dell Optiplex GX520, service tag #GBG71C1 that needs a
	new home. I rescued it from a dumpster some time ago, replaced
	the broken CD/DVD drive with a Lightscribe DVD burner marked
	the bad hard drive blocks and loaded Ubuntu. It is the
	box/power cord only, no display/keyboard/mouse/etc. It was
	working last time I booted it; probably a year ago; but the GX
	series does appear to suffer from bulging capacitor syndrome. I
	don't know if this one does, you are welcome to check.

	I also have an IBM T22 Thinkpad that comes with a power brick,
	Ultrabay DVD burner, Ultrabay floppy drive, docking station and
	D-Link WNA-2330 wireless notebook adapter. It is currently
	running Xubuntu 10.04. This I bought used a long long time ago
	and it's served me very well. 

	It's time for both to go. My current home machine is a T61
	Thinkpad, my current work machine is an Asus Eee T91MT soon to
	be replaced with a Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 and I have an HP
	XW8000 as a  project machine. Besides the various other
	machines in the house. I have to much stuff. Both the GX520 and
	the T22 are as is with preference given to organizations over
	individuals.
