Dell Poweredge 1800 twin Xeon processors, two separate SATA drives on 
the built-in Serc controller not run as RAID.  1.5GBytes RAM.  
Previously difficult to install Sarge on, but eventually running well 
with no crashes on 2.6 kernel.

Has a sound card added - SoundBlaster of some very ordinary and not new 
sort, apart from that is in factory condition.
