I know this is mega cheeky as I've not been folding for a while but I know you're the guys to come to with random requests!

Does anyone have a low profile PCI (not e) graphics card of any description?
doesn't have to be fancy, just able to boot.
If I can get my mits on one I'll be able to use the spare parts from a build (on board graphics are blown) to fold so it's going to a good cause!

In acme's chair.
I think the trouble is that any old hardware we would donate just wouldnt be any good for folding (etc) anyway... After all, if it were, we would probably be using it. :p

Have a Compaq 8500R with eight P3 xeons 700MHz if I remember correctly should work with some version of linux 32 bit.
Was my main SETI classic crunched back in the day.
Not sure what anyone would do with it but hay I would rather it went to a good home.
This is a HEAVY piece of kit, if you live within 10 miles of Derby or east midlands airport then I can deliver for mileage or you can collect.
Quick response please as it will be going to the tip shortly.

Will be putting a few other more main stream items on here soon so keep an eye out,crunchers only please.

Edit : Have a Sapphire 4850x2 and a water block for same, air cooler currently fitted.
Also have an 8800GTS 512Mb BFG i think.

Edit 2: 2X 771 xeons 5130
Core2 duo E6750

Edit 3 2x GTX480's one has pink output from one of the dvi's but crunches fine.(first come first served one each) Gone to Ozaudio

Edit 4 Several FB-DIMM's will suit MAC PRO 1.1 1.2 or socket 771 server,some have mac heat sinks some smaller server type heat sinks.

Edit 5 2x Opteron G34 6172 extra spicy unlocked multi should be good for an easy 2.8Ghz Gone to Chris182008

Edit 6 PC2-5300P ECC 512mb dimms several 8+

Edit 7 Surely someone will want these. i7 920. and a L5639 hex core Xeon both work in X58 motherboards and overclock.

Edit 8 Found a couple of G34 Interlagos chips they are 16 core 1.4Ghz ES.Tested and working in a Supermicro H8DGU extended testing to check results ongoing.
