Howdy Hackers! So after Spacegiving today... mmmm... nom... I took a look at all the computers donated by Justin Herman. Here is a preliminary report on the laptops:
* 5 IBM Thinkpads of Core Duo or newer pass POST. ** They all need 2.5" SATA hard drives and power adapters before I can begin a full hardware test but otherwise are in GREAT condition. * 1 HP G7 has a Windows 7 COA and passes POST, this also needs a hard drive and power adapter before I can begin a full test. * 5 More IBM thinkpads pass POST but need some kind of work (missing palm rest, keyboard, broken LCD panel, etc.) **Once corrected, they just need a hard drive and power adapter to back to working order. * 2 OLDER (Pentium 4, Pentium M) IBM Thinkpads are working but are just really old to be of real use as a modern platform. They are immediately available for hacking. * One has water damage and is going to be scrapped * There are still some thinkpads that are in pieces that I need to go through. * The IBM desktops are not yet tested. I hope to keep the HP, and 3 of the best working laptops for use as public linux computers in the computer lab so that we can free up some desk space and allow the desktops to be re-purposed/hacked. One of the machines I hope to replace is the Electronics Lab Workstation and 2 IBM Thinkpads will replace linux based desktops in the computer lab. The HP is going to replace the main Office machine with the licensed copy of MS Office 2007 Professional (if anyone used it :/) I will soon be looking at all of the computing hardware at the space, cataloging them and selling unnecessary components/computers/parts to bring money into Synhak Inc. So here is the first warning: IF YOU HAVE ANY COMPUTER PARTS OR COMPUTERS HERE AT THE SPACE THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY USING FOR A PROJECT OR *DOES NOT BELONG TO SYNHAK INC.* please ensure that it is clearly labeled as such so that I know not to *put it up for sale.* Thank you, and as always, if you have questions please ask me publicly or privately I care not how, just ask and I will do my best to give you an answer.
