    what's the story? WHo takes old pc's?

    Specs:
    dell
    70 or 120 mhz cpu
    4 or 8mb simms
    hard drives small (maybe less than a gig)
    10 mb combo cards
    15" monitors (probably vga)
    keyboards mouse

    no floppy
    no cd
    location limerick

    (this is not an offer for the for sale board, it's a genuine request for how to go about disposing these properly)

    Mmmm all prime firewall/router machines for DSL conections.....

    but i have loads of junk alredy so ill have to resist temptation... try mail ILUG with the details or mail some of the college computer societys around, they or there members might want em.... would be a pitty to wast em

    Yup, I'll take a machine off ya, preferably a fast cpu, don't mind too much about the ram, and don't need a monitor. Our computer societies' 486 firewall is limiting transfer rates to about 360kb/s at the moment, since it has to run nat as well. Pm me if you still have any left, cheers.

    They make great MP3 boxes.
    Or great for PC bashing at a lan.

    That reminds me i need a pc for the next lan to trash.

    See the problem is i have like 120 of these things. Including monitor keyboard and mouse. I can't just dole them out in onesies and twosies. Im looking to shift a large amount of them in one go.

    Hi yankinlk,

    Do you have an inventory/spreadsheet of the machines and specifications? Can you email it to me?

    I may have a bunch of schools interested,
    Steve

    mail me the inventory too?

    I'd take about 40 of them.

    well ok, maybe 14

    I know a school that would be interested as well
    Could I get a copy. Though I don't think they would want around 120. Around 40-50 would be more realistic.

    I'm afraid I cant take that many. Well I could take that many, I just couldnt take them all at once, cos I dont have any way of collecting them all simultaneously.

    It turns out I can take 50. I'm going to PM you my phone number, in the hopes you can get in contact with me before tomorrow. I should be calling up to dublin tomorrow or some time during this week to pick them up.
