Hi, Iain.

OK, I've just bought 10@£16ea with free delivery on eBay (best offer).

I'm moving house next week, so it will be 22 Apr before I bring them to
the "Space". I'll put the CPU's + RAM in and test them before I bring
them into the space to avoid upsetting Rob with my untidy mess again!

BTW, Rob saved one of my motherboards that you had marked for chucking
out, so I'm very [very] much in favour of us having tidier "Space" :-)

Bye,

  Tony.
