your old computers
-
when you upgrade to a new computer, what do you do with your old one? i have an old Dell 1.7GHz desktop that I recently replaced. i could sell it to a friend who needs one, but i'm a little worried that i'll become the tech support guy. i could put it up for sale on eBay, but it's probably not worth the shipping cost (since you can get a new PC for just a few hundred $, if you shop around). i don't need it for a file server or anything like that. donate it? junk it?

i tried that once, but the little pins on the chips got stuck between my teeth. and all the crushed plastic hurt more coming out than it did going in. :^)

I traded my old computer to my brother for a PS2 and a few games. You could go to a local university and put up a few paper ads with your phone number around campus. College students are likely to buy a used computer, especially in the fall when school starts.

I'd donate it to a suitable charity - I got rid of some old PCs in that way a few years ago. Don't junk it - you don't want it to end up in a land-fill if someone could use it (1.7GHz - that would make someone very happy!).

In the past I have donated old ones to a church, then took a tax write off.

Put random pieces of it in the microwave and see what happens? Send it COD to a "friend"? Take it to your nearest public aquarium and teach a dolphin to touch-type?

A 1.7 is defility donatable, giving it is running reliably, Being one who helped clean up donated systems for a charity the amount of donations that are broken junk does infuriate me. If you need a suggestion the group I had helped was call the the ARC. Association for Retarded Citizens. Now they helped a lot more that just the group the name implies. Most of the computers were cleaned up and given to elderly home bound people so they could communicate. A couple of providers also gave free accounts to these people so they had contact with the outside world for no cost (given they did have a phone that is.) [EDIT] Ok let me clairify. Most of the donations I have seen are units that something failed in and the owners put away in a damp corner of the basement or in their 180 degree attic for a few years, finally deciding to get rid of it. They then donate the box, which time and the elements have totally destroyed. This is NOT something that benefits the charities. Chris's offer is a usable system that even if it needs some attention is fine. [end edit] -- modified at 17:45 Thursday 27th July, 2006

About 8mo ago I was looking at lowend PCs for a friends kids. Stripped boxes (Wiped HD. no OS, monitor, kbd, etc) at the same level you're looking at were selling for $200ish. IMO the people buying them for that much were idiots, but that's another issue entirely. My A1400 is being used as an einstien@home crunchbox, I'm keeping the machine as an emergency spare and donating all the CPU cycles.

Format it then I keep it as furniture to prove my elite geek status. Although I suppose a real geek would put linux in a door stop rather than using a box as a doorstop.

Wipe the HD, reinstall the Windows that came with it if you are feeling kind, then either donate it or simply put it outside with a "WORKS - FREE!" sign. Anything that's still usable and too much trouble to donate I generally just put on the curb marked as free for the taking. Most times its gone within hours.

So, donating a broken machine for parts is a bad thing?

Donate it. Projects like "FreeBSD" are always looking for donated hardware. If you're interested, visit: Donations @ FreeBSD If you want to donate it to me, I would also be pleased to receive it ;-) Kind regards Mathias
