I have a chance to get an old PC which I would like to use as a HA
controller.

Specification is Pentium Pro 200. 128mb ram, 1gb ide disc.

Interestingly it has 4x PCI and 4xISA slots (1 shared), so loading it
up with expansion cards such as Sound and Serial Ports is easy (i have
an odd mix of cards around so the mix of slots is handy.

Could someone advise on the pros and cons od using this PC for HA and
also whether the system is actually worth paying  any money for?

Thanks in advance

Mick
