I've finished inventorying what I came home with. The rack servers will 
likely be moved to smaller cases if we can find enough that still work 
around here ;-) 3 x Intel 915 chipset, 2 x Intel 865 chipset, one with 
RAM and 2 RAIDed 80GB hard drives. The epia is a little noisy but no 
more so than the psu in the kids' computer ;-)

I haven't actually fired up any of the rack servers but I wasn't really 
paying attention to the fans in the epia. I was more concerned that 
Ubuntu decided it had to try and make the PC display in 1920x1080 on my 
22" tv which can do that res, just not on vga input and the installation 
went cactus. It did successfully boot from usb though which was good.

If anyone on the southside missed out and wants to drop by (or lives 
near Daisy Hill so I can drop them off) I'm willing to part with 1 of 
the 915 chipsets and the 865 that doesn't have RAM/HDD in it. (I'll be 
ascertaining their working status in the next few days and I promise not 
to knowingly give anyone a non-working system.)
