Well, it's spring break for me, and what better thing to do then some spring cleaning, right?

A while back I had collected tons of old computers from a recycle center....so now I am in the process of figuring out what to do with this stuff....

286, 386, 486, pentium/586, AMD K6, Celeron, Macintosh....tons of older RAM (simms, 72 pin, powerbook ram, 32MB pc66 sodimm..etc), some older hard drives....keyboards, monitors, mice....I also have a ton of joysticks. Printers. TONS of older software.

What the hell do I do?

Apparently you have to pay to recycle this stuff....so does anybody know of some good programs? I guess I'll ebay some of it, as LOTS....sell off all of the RAM at once....I have a huge box full.

Give me some ideas...I just know that it has got to go...and it's getting a little overwhelming.

Don't tell anybody, but I already threw a couple really old, dead motherboards in the garbage bag.

My grandparents left for the south gave me about 9 old computers. I know how you feel.


What we did was get some M-80's for the 4th of July...well that was fun

Well...uh....

I started dismantling the PCs....they apparently pay cash for the scrap circuit boards, RAM, and CPUs....

I'll recycle the steel and plastic locally for free then.

There was a guy on TV a while ago... He collected all sorts of circuit boards, connectors and such. He scraped the gold plating from everything he could. Apparently he is quite wealthy because of it.

Thats a lot of work...

I would just take whats good still, and scrap the rest. Save the earth magnets from the HD's though, they're quite useful!

Took some monitors apart today...
