Hi All,

I have a couple of projects I am working on an looking for some free or cheap PC parts.

1. A socket 1155 CPU - does not need to be high spec. A Celeron or Pentium would be OK, maybe an i3

2. An old socket 478 system (Ram, Mobo and CPU).

Open to any ideas/offers

Thanks!

I've got a Pentium G2020T (I think) pulled from a HP Microserver - https://ark.intel.com/products/71069

Socket 1155 (well, FCLGA1155). If it suits you're welcome to it. I'm located in Wellington.

I'll have a hunt, I may not have thrown out all of these.
