I tossed most of my old hardware out last year. Did keep a dual core PII 350 though. Most of the old hardware I had was single and dual core Pentium Pros, 180 and 200s. Still have my rack and 4U rackmount case. Don't think I will part with those. Had to toss my 8 and 12 port rack mount network hubs and router as well since they stopped working. I spent a lot of money on ebay between 99-01 collecting hardware to put together a nice network together. Looked like christmas at night with all the lighting
The oldest working machine I have is a Dell GX 150 PIII 800 or maybe its a 900... either way it doesn't have much ram and still has a 3.5" floppy. Even have a pair of working external 56k modems. If I had an extra phone line I could probably setup a nice dial-up BBS. I believe you can setup both the old and new versions of synchronet bbs to run as a dial-up and telnet bbs.
