I have about 30-40 Compaq NC7770 network interface cards for sale either individually or as a bundle.
These cards have been pulled from Compaq Proliant DL580G2 Servers and can run at 10/100/1000mbps.
For more details click on the link
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/s...770/index.html

They retail for about £150 each (see link below)
http://www.computers-online.uk.com/o...s.cfm/ID/30337

but as they are unboxed and have no CD etc I will sell for £20 each or £15
each if buying more than 5 at a time.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Great for home networks if you have ADSL and want to get rid of the green blob!
Just add a router and you'll be up & running.

Because they needed 2x dual port cards to enable fault tolerance.
The NC7770 is only a single port.

Be careful, these are PCI-X cards for those who are buying without PCI-X slots
Ever heard of backwards compatibilty? They will work in any computer that has a PCI slot, even better if you have PCI-X
They are built around Broadcom 5701(h) integrated MAC/PHY controller.
