Throwing away old computers -> take all you want

[fishy]

but to disappoint you, it's only old stuff

so, the school i went to years ago, is getting rid of old computers, some date back to 92'

the IT teacher tho, told me i can take anything i want, so i said sure, i'll come by and take a look!

i went there today and checked it out, first was and then i started looking around

the stuff i so old that i don't even know if it's any good or not

but i narrowed down to 1 particular cpu that would be better than the old P4 i had in my old rig, so i figured, i might as well swap those since i can and maybe take few ram sticks and hdds if he'll allow it

so i'm posting pics here, so you can tell me if i missed something, or if you see anything of interest and you live near me (central europe) and you really really want it, i can take some stuff for you probably and give it to you, you'd just pay for shipping

 

p.s.

that cpu, i was thinking i'd swap the intel P4 1.8ghz with celeron d 2.66ghz (moar jigahertzs!) and the socket is the same, tho i have many boards to choose

would that be a smart move?

and i was thinking of taking some hdds, mind you that the largest is 60gb and all are IDE, but that's ok, there was also a mountain of IDE cables

but will see if he'll allow it since it's hdds...

and the gpu in the old comp is some ati saphire 128mb,and as i remember there weren't many gpus with more ram, but that doesn't always mean that's it's worse?

didn't pay much attention to those since i wansn't sure what kind of gpu i have in the old comp

there are loads of cpus, the pics are just of those that i found that are different from 1 another

p.p.s.

sorry if it's wrong section, but wasn't sure if i'd post somewhere in hardware, but then where? it's a bit of everything!

or the workbench, but it says "new builds and planning" and this is anything but new

Cant see pics. They aren't public.

you should totally make your pics available to the public

[DoubleY]

Wait, can WE take all we want?

[nsyedhasan]

Yup, I will take the systems of your hands.

[Cacao]

I live in Switzerland, could you ship here if I see anything interesting (please make images public)?

[fishy]

edited post, it's ok now (i think ), first time using that site since i wanted to just copy all images from folder

my bad

[mikeangeles 75]

I live like an hour away from your location, will give me some?

If you live in Toronto I will be willing to take most of it off your hands.

I will gladly take any motherboards. CPU or not

[Shd0w2]

i want <3

most of mobos have cpus in it, just heatsinks were taken off

Ill take it if you live in NY, but not the citty

[1823alex]

can u ship near Chicago I'll take whatever you can give me.

[fishy]

i live in central europe

dunno what would the costs be to ship overseas, but if we can figure out some way to ship it, i see no problem with it, just i know i wouldn't be paying for shipment

[jaqiefox]

omg I sooooo wish this was in the USA. I would pay for shipping for all the oldest stuff, namely the 386 and 486 class stuff.

 

Since it isnt, I feel I must tell you there is a market for the oldest stuff, a big one, on ebay.  I spent $50 shipped for a 386 motherboard just like that one shipped from the ukraine... you really should get the whole thing and sell it all on ebay for like 15 plus shipping to usa costs... you'd make mint.

Any old keyboards like IBM ones or Acer? I'll take those mainly and pay for shipping. I'll take some of the old processors and motherboards though maybe.

will see if he'll let me take all, maybe wouldn't be a bad idea if i would be able to store it somewhere where it isn't in my way

i also tought that old ones would already have some collector value

hmmmm

he said there are some old monitors, like black and white old

but in another room and didn't check that one yet, maybe there are some other pheripherals in there also, tho, the time i went to that school, we had some ugly cheap black keyboards, dunno if it was dell or ibm or something, but those were cheap and abundant

i got time till monday to make up my mind, after that, all that's left is going to trash

and like 3 old GPU's and possibly a PSU.

max psu i think was 350W or something like that

gpus, beside that 8 that are in the pic, there weren't really many i think that would fit "newer" mobos

[TheNinjaNextDor]

Ill take whatever you want to give me

Maybe enough to build a system. No case though.

Well I can see why they threw it out.
