I ran into a guy locally that has two 18-wheeler trailers and three storage spaces of computer stuff that he wants to dump by spring. He's throwing away high-end 17" CRT monitors like the Sony Trinitron FD by the van load, and has a ton of stuff that he just wants to get rid of.
I got some stuff from him for free, and told him I'd try to help some of this stuff from hitting the scrap heap because he's pretty set on just throwing everything away. :huh:
Some of the stuff I saw were: an Amiga, several Macs like a IIc and other power-pc powered Macs, a stack of Sun workstations, an SGI workstation, an Indigo, a HUGE DEC something the size of a refrigerator (model number available), several Compaq Pentium and PPro rackmount servers with SCSI raids, a STACK of external SCSI drives sized from 150mb to 500mb, an Apple external 5.25" drive, an Apple 21" monitor (he trashed one of these today), several token ring cards for what looked like (maybe older) HP laser printers, and much more.
If anything on this list interests you, post here and I'll start getting pictures of what you're interested in and posting them here. If he gets $10-$20 for something + shipping at UPS daily rates (around $10 for smaller stuff), he'll let me ship it out. Otherwise, it's hitting a landfill. It has to be worth the time for him to come down to the storage place, help pack this stuff and ship it out, or it's better to just trash it. If you're near or willing to come to Madison, Alabama, you can just check everything out for yourself.
I am EXTREMELY busy for the next few weeks, so if you don't hear from me, call me at 615-512-5520 so I'll jump back in this thread.
