[swinog] Old functional hardware - where does it best go?
Hi, So, interrupting the summery silence on this list a bit, and it might not be entirely swinog-appropriate... but... I was doing some sorting out of various things and realized that I amassed too many old unused computers and various components that are still in full functional order, but not very useful to use due to their oldness, powerconsumption and simply as they have been replaced with better ones. As such, I am asking if somebody knows what the best way is to get effectively rid of various things like a full functioning (network,video,audio) p100 (DEC multia), a p200 (small tower), a dual p2-266 (tower), a dual p3-600 (qube case), nslu2's and then an assorted list of other things like cd drives etc. What is the best way to go with this kind of stuff? Trash is an option, but it is not like these things are small ;) Greets, Jeroen ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog

Hey Jeroen, when I cleaned out my lab, a similar list of items plus a ton of old Cisco stuff, I donated the whole lot to some guys who were putting together a hackerspace. Maybe there's something similar, a hackerspace or maker lab near you?

Chris: I am soo sad you didn't hit me up about the old Cisco gear you sent away...I would have taken it all! Same goes for youJeroen, if you've got Cisco gear going to that pile, I will be glad to relieve you of it FREE OF CHARGE! And I will come pick it up as well.

If the size and weight is the problem, give Swico a call (http://www.swicorecycling.ch/d/entsorgen_abholauftrag.asp), they will bring you a container, you can fill it and they will pick it up the next day - all free of charge...

Hi all, Well before, you drop all your stuff in the infinity of the garbage disposal aka how do we ship all this stuff to africa, an email to the local hackerspace and ask if they need equipment. http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Switzerland Regularly they / we look for any kind of extraordinary computers, or network equipment for the next gathering. * http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Switzerland * http://www.cosin.ch * https://easterhegg.ch By the way, to all who did help locate equipment for the easterhegg, thanks a lot. It was very much appreciated. Or you do have really old or rear equipment / computer. You should get in touch with this people. * http://www.mfk.ch/kontakt.html (mainly swiss design or produced equipment) * http://www.pcmuseum.ch/index.php?id=kontakt * http://cmgb.blogspot.ch/ (small but proud to keep all systems running) Hope I could give some alternatives.
