No bidding, first come, first serve.
I typically "loan" it out for trial/use before someone pays me.

Pretty much.  I need to check what PSes I have, but I'm
1,000 miles away from the system right now.  I'm going
to try to get home by mid-month, but it's extremely
difficult to get time off with all the responsibility I have
right now, typically working 6 days/week.

Ironically, it's all ultra-proprietary** work at the company,
yet they keep me as a contractor**???

Oh, I was figuring $50 or _even_less_.
It all depends on what PS I can find.

I see the M7VIW for $50 new, and the Antec case/variants
for under $50 new with 300W PS.  Assuming I can find a good
PS, I was figuring $50.  Otherwise maybe $30-40.

I can't remember if that system has a 465W ATX 1.0 Enermax
(and that will go to the new case, being that my new MicroATX
it's not a ATX 2.0 mainboard, so the 300W ATX2.0 with split
+12V might not be useful in the new case) and I have the original,
400W Antec laying around (which is still very good -- especially
on the 3.3/5V lines for Athlon XP), or if I only have a 350W or
some other, cheaper 300-400W PS extra laying around.

P.S.  I actually have a 2nd Antex SX1000 case without PS that
you can have.  It's missing a foot (stupid plastic PoS), and I think
I cut the sides of it with 80mm intake fans -- can't remember.
I'm more than willing to give that one away with it too.

[ **NOTE:  Not just DoD classified (contractors are used
all the time for that stuff -- rather scary if you ask me ;-),
but a lot is corporate proprietary, and I'm the only guy that
is figuring out and learning the stuff, yet no one is bothering
to show interest in actually retaining me, the guy that is
going to be the only schmuck who understand how to deploy
this stuff.  ;->
Nice, especially when my wife's a teacher and it would be
ideal if they made me an offer now.  But I've been
informally told that I won't get any offer until summer
2006, if they extend my contract past October at all.
Oh why oh why did I leave my clients in Vegas? ;-]
