Moar Computershite

[ashmicro]

All functioning. This has now been "life cycled" by a large local company, who paid me to take it away. "life cycled" means that they have a 3 year cycle on IT gear, after which it is replaced.

 

I look after their networks anyway, and it's cheaper for them to pay me to take it away (after which it is my responsibility) than to pay for enviro disposal.

 

Get a load of this shite!

 

 

2 Pentium 4 laptops, 2GB RAM in each, 2 P3 laptops with docking stations, a shoebox of unused RAM, titanium cased 500GB USB/Firewire portable hard drives, coupla desktop systems (Athlon 64)

 

 

Nifty little P2 lappy on Win2k with docking station that I'm keeping for myself to unlock mobile phones.

 

 

Various other used stuff, all tested and working.

 

 

 

 

 

Amazingly, I have now sold almost all of what I'm not keeping for myself. In 1 afternoon.

 

The firm was gonna dump this stuff. What a fucking waste.

 

Computer scrappage FTL.

 

***edited to add: what's pictured is only about a third of the gear***

A company I used to work for BINNED 12 apple mac computers, complete with 22" monitors, and several laser printers. Completely usable, the lot went into a skip. I salvaged one laser printer, but had nowhere else to put the rest.

if you have a Toshiba Tecra 8000 like mine and buy a KTS 500 PCMCIA card on ebay.de, you can get a working Bosch KTS diagnostic tool.You can also sometimes get an ISA adaptor that the PCMCIA goes into, but because it's an ISA card it only works on shite desktops. Win95 or 98 is best for this stuff.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I have no idea at all what you're talking about.

[messerschmitt owner]

I will always buy Apple Macs - G4 or G5 or even Intel - good prices paid too!Is that Pc100/133/166 memory or pc3200 chips - will buy 512MB or better sticks from either

[dieselnutjob]

Bosch KTS is a professional mechanics tool that will read error codes, live data and reset error codes on almost every car on the road. They do all the proprietary stuff like airbags and ABS too.I'm talking about a £2000 tool.... Or a shite laptop and an old KTS card from ebay

I have no idea at all what you're talking about.

Nor me , tis all gobbledeegook and way over my simple 60s bonce

[FredTransit]

I know what a laptop is. That is all.....

[warren t claim]

I can't afford a laptop so I just paint a pizza box black so I don't feel left out!

LOL ^ !My mate Fat Bob does something similar to you Ashmicro, his house is absolutely full of old computers and parts.Another mate has just given me a 4 year old Dell laptop "for spares, I'm fed up with it not working", all it needed was a low-level drive format and an XP disc with Service Pack 2 already installed to work perfectly again! I'm using it now, will come in useful as a spare/garage machine for Autodata/workshop manual reference work.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! Good stuff Mr Welfare.

The big box full is all faulty.

 

It was the second box the same size I've just tested and sold most of it as I want to sell my tester (£2995.00) to buy some bits for my shite BMW 2002.

£3K for that ram tester seems a little steep

[Claypole]

It's a closed market, they are the only place that sells them in the UK. (so I sent my money to someone in the states instead to buy one there for me).
