Cool. Scored a Dell OptiPlex 5080 from work. New owner tossed the previous owners left behind desk computer out so being as I live upstairs, I took it.
Wiped the drive and slapped a fresh Debian install on it and everything seems to be working fine.
Spoke to new owner and he plans to junk all the equipment left behind and is going to let me take it all. 2 more 5080's, 2 other Dell systems and 2 Lenovos, as well as 3 or 4 Acer v206hql monitors.
What I'm super interested in, is the server upstairs. Can't wait to see what's contained in that rack.
Pretty sweet score tho.
