No.  You absolutely do not even kid around on *this* list about making this
into a refridgerator.  These systems are still useful and are desired and
sought after by many people.  They might not be worth a _big_ pile of
dollars, but they have much usefulness left in them.

That's a somewhat base hardware config - with the exception of the IR
boards.  I'm surprised to see two IR boards, and only a single 1GB disk and
64MB ram.  However, it does have 4 procs.

either.

take it off your hands.  Where are you located?
