Great Hardware Giveaway
A couple of weeks back I cleaned all the hardware out of storage that is less than a Pentium-II and am wanting to get rid of it. It all mostly works but I don’t want it anymore, and don’t have the space to keep it. However, I can’t bear to just throw away working hardware, even if it is only a 486.
So here’s the deal. In about a week I’m going to take it all down and put it on the “giveaway” table in the laundry room, before then however, if anyone wants this and is local (lower mainland centered around the Vancouver, BC, Canada area) and can come and pick it up or arrange someplace to get it within a reasonable amount of time, it’s yours… free for the taking. Email me at arcterex@ufies.org
I know that raskal tried to give away old hardware on the FVLUG list, and it didn’t go well, but I’ll try anyway.
I have several items. You can hit the gallery of pictures I put up of everything (with high-res images so you can look at serial #s and whatnot if you care to) to look at the details, but here’s what’s there:
- a bag of coax cable
- 486 motherboard and CPU
- drive bay adapter
- dual pentium-pro motherboard
- another 486 motherboard and CPU
- two coax network cards (my first network cards ever)
- 14.4 modem
- ISA parallel/serial card
- 3com ISA network card
- red painted dell optiplex with mb/cpu (legs not included)
- pentium 133 with 48mb ram and 13″ case (the old arcterex.net server, stickers included)
So that’s it. email me if you want anything, cause by next monday it’ll be out of here!
the funny thing about my stuff was that the wife forced me at gunpoint to put the junk I was trying to give away in a garage sale.
She got $40 for stuff that was going to hit the trash. wicked.
ah yes, I remember the attempt at coolness with our red firewalls…. those were the days.
We just got rid of a lot of crap, too. mostly old ISA video cards, old modems, and a lot of other stuff that i couldn’t pay people to take away. Man, there should be a shop that takes those old components….. that would rock
ah, my first case painting experiment http://arcterex.net/gallery/oldcomputers/IMG_3125
Raskal – wanna take my stuff and I’ll give you 10% of what you get for it at your next garage sale 🙂
