Now that I think of it, said box is currently sitting in my office 
unused, and I've been meaning to offer it up on freecycle for a while 
now.  It's yours free if you want it.  The hard drive died, and I never 
replaced it, so you'd need to buy a new one.  And I recall the fan being 
a bit noisy.  But other than that it worked.  It was a P3, IIRC.

Since you mentioned you're in a hurry, you can pick it up tonight if you 
want it.  I'm on the Lower East Side.  Give me a call if interested. 
(I'll send you my phone # off-list.)
