1 Desktop PC to Give Away

Update 10 June 2009 – both of the PC’s have now gone. Thank you for your interest.

Update: One of the PC’s has gone. So there is only one left!

One compaq PC is still available. It is a full size tower – if you want to use it as is that is fine, or if you want to build your own pc this would be great.

We were tidying up our office and found we have some more old hardware we need to get rid of. Before we throw it away though, I thought someone out there might have some use for some of it. If so help yourself.

The items are 2 desktop pc’s to give away. They are offered on an “as is” basis, and need to be picked up from the Azabu area in Tokyo.

Both are Compaq Pentium 2’s. The hard drives have been reformatted and have had ubuntu installed on them. They sound old, and they are, but with ubuntu they work fine for browsing the internet and writing documents. They both have full size cases.

Call 03-4550-1513 to arrange pickup.

Denphone – Japan’s most flexible Telephony Solutions

Long time since I posted here. Things have been busy as ever:)

A couple of weeks ago I started a new job, working for a VoIP Solutions company here in Tokyo. The company is called Denphone and it is based just down the road from where I live, in Azabujuban, Tokyo.

It is a very interesting company offering a wide range of Linux and open source IP telephony solutions, particularly using the Asterisk PBX software package. We also sell a lot of IP telephones, including Polycom, Cisco, snom, and Grandstream models. You can see some of them at the Denphone webshop. So I have had a lot of new products to get myself familiar with.

I will be putting up more links in the future, particularly related to VoIP and IP telephony especially Asterisk in the near future.
