Ok well, here in Melbourne Australia its hard rubbish, which is like you throw everything you dont want onto the street and people come and collect it..

I went searching for computers and in 5 mins i found 4 PC's.
ATI Radeon Card(i think).
20GB MaXtor HDD.
256MB x2
128MB x1
Unknown x2 (RAM)

here are some pics.

Awesome, always fun to find free stuff. You could make a half decent file server with that stuff. Hopefully it all works well.

The had drives where probably formated so there is no Operating System on them.

No, they don't, because computers have hazardous materials in them. They go to special places where they are disposed of properly.

Also, after Googling "linux file server tutorial", I got 7,580,000 results. So I'll let you look through them.
