I got a small form factor PC  a Compaq 733 (PIII)  it has onboard
nvidia gfx (TNT2 I think wiht 16 megs or so).  I beleive it has 384
megs of ram on it,  it currently has an old version of gentoo on it, 
but if you're interested in it, gimme an offer... About the only thing
you'd have to do is swap out the CDrom for a burner if you wanted to
burn stuff... or I could sell you my DVD anything drive (does
everything including DVD-RAM except it ain't Dual Layer)

Highest reasonable offer gets it.
