Scott, anything on the W.I.T.S. shelf for recycling right now is there because it is seriously defective (as in, bad or missing power supplies, bad mainboards, faulty IDE ports, etc.) ...
However, if he wants to completely deconstruct one of those machines, he's welcome to it -- to clarify, the W.I.T.S. shelf is labeled (poorly, as I recall, mis-spelled as WITTS), if you are looking at the shelves on the Thurman Ave. wall, the W.I.T.S. shelf is the one to the right, closer to the side door. The computers on the very top, stacked in piles and marked with how much memory they contain, are NOT for recycling or tinkering!! -- they're just there right now because we didn't have anywhere else to put them. The computers on the lower W.I.T.S. shelves, however, are available. Just please make sure there are no loose bits and parts left lying around. And next time, give us a heads up a week in advance, and I'm sure we can come up with something suitable. Thanks!
