I have a tower server with an AMD Athlon 1212 CPU and 8G of ECC RAM to give 
away.  The above URL has the relative performance of the CPU (it beats the i3 
and Core 2 Duo systems but doesn't compete with the quad core CPUs).  The CPU 
lacks the feature needed for KVM, if you run QEMU it will be in software 
emulation mode which is really slow.  It used to be a Xen server.

It has PCIe*8 slots so you can't install a decent video card without using a 
saw.  All RAM slots are full and I think it uses unbuffered DIMMs so expanding 
the RAM probably costs more than it's worth.

If you need a 64bit dual-core server with 8G of RAM then this will probably 
work quite well.  It can work as a desktop system (and did so well for a few 
years), but the inbuilt graphics is slow.  It makes little noise if you have a 
SSD and the CPU is mostly idle.

I can bring it to a LUV meeting.
