Cool. Scored a Dell OptiPlex 5080 from work. New owner tossed the previous owners left behind desk computer out so being as I live upstairs, I took it.

Wiped the drive and slapped a fresh Debian install on it and everything seems to be working fine.

Spoke to new owner and he plans to junk all the equipment left behind and is going to let me take it all. 2 more 5080's, 2 other Dell systems and 2 Lenovos, as well as 3 or 4 Acer v206hql monitors.

What I'm super interested in, is the server upstairs. Can't wait to see what's contained in that rack.

Pretty sweet score tho.

You are well on your way to a bot farm or a computer hoarding problem

My wife is going to love it. I had a computer hoarding problem once before but gave some away and recycled the rest because she needed the closet for storage. I'm gonna set both the kids up with their own PC so that I have access to my laptop again and store the rest under the bed until I think of what I'm going to do with them.
