I spent a little too much the past couple of weeks and am broke, and
I've been wanting to sell these for a while anyway, so here goes:

1. HP LaserJet 4P: 4PPM, RS-232 & Centronics only, made in HP's Boise
factory even though the guts, as I understand it, are Canon Japanese. 
It won't pretend to be a line printer, which is why I can't use it at
work (retarded software), but it supports PCL 5e and works fine with
CUPS and/or HPLIP.  With it are 2 new toner carts, a new real HP that's
unopened and I received with it (so do the shake when installing it) and
a fresh Cartridge World reman that's installed in it with only a few
test pages printed.  The printer works great (much more now with the new
cartridge--the drum on the old one was bad), the only down side being
the 2MB memory it came with was never expanded, but HP drivers and CUPS
get around that with no trouble and it seems you can print any arbitrary
sized image on it.  Just a reminder, though: no USB here.

2. A Compaq Proliant 6400R.  This is a rack-mount dual PIII-Xeon 533 MHz
server with full 2MB caches on each proc.  It contains 1GB of memory,
expandable to 4, as well as a dual-port NIC (10/100 I believe), a
low-end SVGA card, and 4 10K-RPM 9.1 GB Ultra-SCSI II drives.  I have
not powered it up, but someone else did and said it came up with (I have
to see this one for myself) 3 different versions of windows?  It's been
sitting in storage since I got it, and I never got around to playing
with it; this would be great for Quake III and anything else that's not
going to hammer it too bad (by today's standards).  It's also got an
external SCSI port in the back that went to a separate RAID server: it
may still be at the place I got this, but they had no cable.  Looking
around online shows this to be at least mostly Linux compatible, though
you may need a proprietary piece of soft/firmware for the health
monitoring.

E-mail me with your phone number if you're interested.

Thanks, Mike
