Computers surplus to requirements

[timbo343]

We are getting rid of about 50 machines, but we dont want to give them away, Is anyone interested in buying them, or does anyone know of a company that will buy them back. I have already tried buy-it-back.com but they arent interested.

 

Here are the specs of the machines:

 

1. Desktop Chassis – Depth: 17.5” x Height: 5.5” x Width: 17”

2. Asus A7N266-VM Motherboards – Onboard Lan, Sound, VGA, Serial, PS2 Mouse & Keyboard

3. AMD Athlon XP 2400+

4. 512Mb DDR Ram

5. 20gb ~ 40gb Hard Drives

6. PS2 Mouse

7. PS2 Keyboard

8. D-link 530 PCI Network Card

 

Thanks

I have a couple of schools trying to move away from Apple Mac's that might be interested.

 

Do they come with and O/S?

 

How much are you looking for?

[timbo343]

Yeah they come with an OS, win XP Pro. About £40 a machine.

Tut, typical lol, never mind, im sure someone will be interested. Oh i also forgot to mention, they will need picking up too, we will not organise delivery.

[timbo343]

Is anyone interested in theses machines??

[fooby]

If we had the money......

 

Just bought 70 systems, we haven't got that much more at the mo.

 

ebay?

[timbo343]

we can only ebay if they are businesses, i think

[witch]

Did you get rid of them?

[timbo343]

nah. well. apart from one, a guy at work knows of an architect company that might want a few, but apart from that nah.. nobody wants them.

[contink]

Damn it... I missed this...

 

Any chance you could do a little tweaking or pulling parts for a little extra cost...

 

I've got one school that could really benefit from 5 of these units but it'd be useful to shift the RAM up to 1Gb (assuming all the ports weren't taken already)...

 

Only question I have is whether or not those network cards are RIS compat'? (I'm guessing the 530's are as you've added them to the onboard LAN).

[timbo343]

Unfortunately not, They come as they are, otherwise we will have machines that are no good to anyone, and the dlinks dont have this PXE chips on them but we have a couple in boxes tho.

[timbo343]

These machines are still available if anyone is wanting any.

Will you sell single machines? I'll pick up -need a box for a friend & you're down the road from me.

[timbo343]

these machines are still sat in our server room if anyone wants any. Now bought the price down to £20 per machine.

 

Anyone want any?

[leon]

Sorry Tim, I forgot to get back to you. My friend is a lazy git and wouldn't collect. Hope you sell them cause £20 is a good price.

 

I've emailed this link to some colleagues in York schools.

I've let my boss know about this thread. I think I missed it the first time round. Thanks for bumping it.

£20.00 Thats a right price, I'll tell some of our Barnsley Primary schools.

 

They still have some crappy HP Brios for sale. Windoze 98 is mint when it breaks....

[contink]

I've got a new school I'm starting with and these would fit their budget perfectly... Will call them now and get a PM to you in the next couple of hours.

I meant use HP Brios, not sell them there not worth anything.

I've sent you a PM timbo343.
