Sudev,

I yanked this out of google

http://www.verifiedcomputers.com/itemDetails.cfm?itemID=2000425

This would represent the best of the batch of what we have to offer but 
most are 350 MHz.

If you want actual pictures I will take some and post them on our 
website next week

These are nice little boxes. Some of the HDs have a noisy whirrr to 
them. they lived their first 3 years in our school with the HDs 
unplugged so it was not a factor.  it was a sad day when I had to plug 
them back in and load W2K BUT I did make them dual boot K12LTSP and ya 
know what most of the students choose? K12 Linux!  Many of these are in 
use right now in some of the classrooms  and look real good with LCDs 
sitting on them. If power in the classrooms was not a factor I'd keep em 
and up the ratio of PCs to students.

Since posting this here I have had some emails off list. I will sell 
them onesy twosy if I have to but would love to sell the whole lot of 
them or blocks of 25.

I purchased similar size HPs from Ebay in November and they came 5 or 6 
to a box via UPS
