PrimaryNetMan Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 About to undertake a project of turning our unused IT Suite into a Maker Space / STEM room so need to shift the old kit. There are a total of 33 Dell Optiplex 760 USFF AIO Photos here - https://goo.gl/kzhWja Spec Intel Dual Core E5200 2.5GHz Processor 2GB Ram 150GB HDD DVD/CDRW 17" AIO Monitor They also come with compact keyboards so they fit 3 to a desk A couple of the monitors have stuck buttons but they still come on. All power on and work fine. Currently running Windows 7 but will be wiped. Will also run Cloudready OS perfectly Looking for offers really. Can also include some of the desks and power blocks as well if someone is interested. Buyer must collect! Thanks for looking
hardtailstar Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 How much are you expecting and where are you based?
PrimaryNetMan Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 Based in Milton Keynes Looking for around £500.00ono for the lot.
DrBeaker Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 What's the reason behind the IT suite going unused, if you don't mind me asking? I'm still trying to convince people a proper IT suite managed and setup properly will always be better and cheaper than the damm hellish laptop trolleys (from experience) and associated laptop problems or worse . . . . tablets!
PrimaryNetMan Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 Class sets of Chromebooks have made the Suite redundant, well to be fair G Suite for Education / Chrome OS has pretty much made our Windows network redundant. Only have back office PCs and staff laptops running Windows now.
DrBeaker Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Do you have any requirements for video editing, Photostop etc that sort of thing?. Despite the Chromebooks phase a lost of schools seem to be going through Chromebooks will never meet those needs.
PrimaryNetMan Posted January 11, 2019 Author Posted January 11, 2019 No, bonus of being a Primary I guess. Also never say never.
Ditto Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 What's the reason behind the IT suite going unused, if you don't mind me asking? I'm still trying to convince people a proper IT suite managed and setup properly will always be better and cheaper than the damm hellish laptop trolleys (from experience) and associated laptop problems or worse . . . . tablets! Have you kept a Windows server for basic services like AD, DHCP etc.? Increasingly I think schools benefit from a hybrid environment. Having worked at an all-through school that was primarily GSuite with Chromebooks, that worked fine for pupils. Primary staff pressure for Office suite led to the introduction of a Windows and Office environment. With the right support and training, I think the school could have managed with just GSuite. However, in the senior school (Y7+), the need for things like Adobe PS, required the power of a dedicated Windows suite. I also saw the need for Apple Macs in the music department. All that added cost of course, both in terms of hardware, software and support requirements. I however believe it gave the pupils a better education to be exposed to multiple platforms.
PrimaryNetMan Posted January 24, 2019 Author Posted January 24, 2019 *bump* Will take £350.00 *bump* Need these gone before half term so if anyone want to make an offer drop a PM otherwise off to the recyclers.
