Lightbulb LOCALS ONLY: Nearly free computer parts!

Lots of it is outdated, no memory. Stuff that is still boxed retail (cd-drives, PCI ethernet cards) heavily discounted. Lots of PC cases with power supplies. Make any reasonable donation. Most of the stuff is leftover from assembling Internet-ready PCs for those who could not otherwise afford them (single parents, grandparents, teachers, etc) that had financial need. Moving the operation to Maryland (where most of the stuff is now) and clearing out my inventory here.

Can make your own ethernet cables if you'd like. Just ask that you help put some ends on existing ones in the house, like a 1:1 if you can. Yes, I have the stuff to make those $20 ethernet cables. Make some for your cable modems in 5" lengths to clean up the wires or make one 20' to hook up some stuff around the house.

Have a stack of computer hard drives that I need to check out, but will offer them very cheaply to those willing to help out with the fence stuff.

Connect up your own computer to the home intranet server's mp3 drive and swap as much as you want. Can help out by putting some of your own on there if you feel comfortable. Lots of the stuff I have is hard to find live and remixes. If someone wants to borrow a DVD, guess we get something going. Have probably over 400 of them. Anyone interested in a DVD exchange/loaner thing?

I'll be making space in the garage for the leftover computer parts for LOCAL PEOPLE ONLY to pick through. Goal is to be able to park the car in the garage before the end of the month. If you've seen my garage, it's gonna be a challenge!

I need a new power supply, so I might be wanting to grab one of those cases here soon.

Sure! Come and get it pretty quickly, though. Free stuff has a tendancy to grow feet rather quickly. PM me whenever you'd like to get the stuff. I'll be away from Friday afternoon until Sunday night for a wedding.

Come and get this stuff today until 10p, tomorrow (Thursday) from 9a-11a, or Friday by appointment. Stuff is going fast and will be donated or placed on eBay early next week! Have maybe two truckloads left at the moment.

If anyone wants pentium, pentium 2, pentium pro, pentium mmx motherboards, ATX cases, or 250w power supples, speak up now. They are going to Goodwill tomorrow morning!

Just found a case of Toshiba laptop accessories. External hard drives, floppy drives, power supplies, port replicators (connect external monitor, mouse, keyboard, sound, printer, serial, etc). Free if you can use them, otherwise going on eBay.
