Is 2007 retro enough? Compaq dc7800 seeks new home.

[B 9]

I have a small form factor computer that I no longer use. I don't know if it is retro enough for the Society, but I figured I'd give it a shot. Specs:

• HP/Compaq  dc7800 SFF
• Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E6750  @ 2.66GHz
• 80 GB spinning rust IDE drive
• Running latest Debian GNU/Linux ("bookworm")
• Includes Windows Vista product key
  
• 4 GB RAM (as 4 × 1GB DDR2, max is 8 GB)
  
• 1.44MB Floppy Disk Drive
• DVD "lightscribe" (SATA)
  
• Serial port (with VT100 emulation in BIOS)
• Parallel port
• VGA video on motherboard
• Second video (DVI) on card
• 100baseT Ethernet
• USB 2.0
  
• Builtin soundcard

E-mail me if you'd like to give this computer a happy home.

Hey now, it’s not that old—gigabit (1000BASE-T) Ethernet onboard in that model not 100BASE-TX. 

If someone does get this-HP has a multi card reader that takes the place of the floppy drive to give you all the SD, CF, etc access you could need without having an external reader if you are using disk emulation for other retro systems, but you loose the floppy drive in the SFF case.
