^ 10 day auction should give you plenty of time.

Aye its finding the time to do it, what with typing up numerous listings and then actually taking the computers apart, and storing the components while the auction runs, but you say the next free one is this weekend coming....might have to have a look on my day off tomorrow

edit - also got to make sure my harddrive is wiped completely, afaik a complete format doesnt rid your data completely, anyone know a free program that does?

Danny download the WinDLG.zip utility.
Should work on any brand drive.
You can format your drive as normal in windows then use this utility to write zero's to the drive. Then format again in windows if you want. You can even zero it again if your paranoid.

Yea I was thinking whether or not to do it, but how do you securely 'dump' a hard drive?

For sale will be......

Athlon 64X2 4600
2GB (2x1GB) PC6400 Geil RAM
1950GT graphics card (PCIe)
Powerful brand name PSU, without cracking the case open cant remember
An Antec desktop case (not a tower, the horizontal ones) for MiniATX board
ASRock MiniATX mobo I think it is
Think theres a couple of other goodies cant remember atm (kinda sums up how much Ive fell out of touch with it tbh)

Dont have any model numbers etc etc but can get them on request if you want to save me ebay fees / paypal fees (if you want to cheque/postal order/transfer)
