Hi,

I have a heap of old hardware here. Most of it is really outdated or simply
heavy (dual Pentium II/III slot boards, big towers etc), but some stuff may
be useful for someone. There are SDRAMs (all in all 9 modules, sums up to
1.5 GB), graphic cards, floppy drives, and a CD burner. Please drop me a
mail if you need such hardware. Otherwise, it will end in the local
recycling facility, like all the other parts (17" tube monitors, small hard
drives, cases...).

What about the local school. That's what I did with a load of old PCs a few years ago.

I give computers to the local kindergarten. But even then, they are
relatively new, 1.5 GHz or faster, with LCDs. I don't want flickering tube
monitors for my kids. The school has computers, and the old stuff I have
would be too slow. And I don't have the time to built that all together.

I've been using old boxes as Linux file servers.
Just a couple so far but they seem to work fine with the
older hdwe.

Contact the local computer users group in your area. There are a lot of
seniors or low income people in these groups who would like a computer
for surfing the internet. As long as the computer boots and has a web
browser, they'll be happy. They don't care if it has LCD screen or not.
