Subject: Free computer (you pick up)

This system has served me well for many years, but I'm reclaiming physical
space.  This computer is free to a good maker home that will use it for
learning, doing cool stuff, or for parts.  The computer was built in
September 2006, and is in perfect working condition, as far as I know,
except that the BIOS needs to be updated in order for power-saving features
(ACPI) to work under some newer releases of Linux (e.g., Fedora 17).  
Computer must be picked up from Tower Plaza (1 block from AHA), preferably
some night this week between 6pm and 8pm.

Specs:

Silverstone full-height tower case (big! heavy!), black
AMD Athalon FX-62 2.8 GHz dual core processor
Asus Crosshair AM2 nForce 590 motherboard
2 GB RAM (two 1 GB DIMMS)
Two Western Digital 150 GB 10K RPM SATA hard drives
NVidia 7950GX2 graphics card, 1 GB
internal DVD burner
Silverstone SST-ST75ZF 750W power supply
Creative X-FI XTREME sound card
fans
cables, parts, and most media/manuals
freshly loaded with Fedora 17 (64-bit)

NOTE!  Monitor, keyboard, and mouse are NOT included.

If you are interested, contact me at m...@catseye.org to find out if the
computer is still available and arrange a day & time for pickup.
