<br>
Some kind of ~1.8Ghz AMD Athelon "Shuttle PC", which is a small desktop.<br>
<br>
Whichever one goes first also includes a IDE<->CF adapter + CF card for hard disk. The other one gets none.<br>

These are all as-is, but work just fine as far as I can tell.<br>

For sale:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.pcengines.ch/alix3d3.htm" target="_blank">http://www.pcengines.ch/alix3d3.htm</a> $40 -- still sold for over $100 new. This one actually has a VGA port for those not equipped with DB9 null modem adapters. Again, this is *not* an i686-class CPU, so you must be careful in choosing a linux distribution. I've always used OpenBSD on it. Booting from USB Cd-rom or thumbdrive is a little tricky, but possible.<br>
<br>
Samsung 22" LED TV "Series 4000" $40 -- has vga, hdmi, component, etc. ports. I think it goes for over $100 new. Makes a fine PC Monitor.<br>

<br>
Must answer by saturday afternoon.<br>
I bring to you, you pick it up, whatever works for you. email for arrangements.<br>
<br>
Otherwise they go to the scrapyard. Except the TV, which would go to charity.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
