Bits of old computers for free or cheap: Some of this stuff might be worth a bit; the rest is probably worthless, but if you have some use for it, that would be better than it just being junked. Make me an offer (including nothing!) if you want any of it. Collect from central Cambridge. Old desktop PC, with no hard disk. I think it has a 433 processor. But the case, CD drive, floppy drive are still good, if anyone needs spare bits, for something. New network card installed in the above; never used as hard disk died before I had a chance. But it was basically brand-new at the time (end 2004) so should still be usable for modern computers. 96Mb PC100 RAM, (one 64 and one 32, I think), which is actually quite expensive to replace for these ancient computers, as I discovered when trying to upgrade. 13" PC monitor. Old, but still useable. HP deskjet colour + b/w printer. In good working order. Only has a parallel connector, though, which is why I'm no longer using it, but otherwise a good desktop printer with good quality prints and not that expensive to run. Macintosh LCIII computer. Might be good for museums?! Don't quite know what to do with this, actually. It has copies of Word and Excel (and I think the installation disks are still around, though am not sure) and various other bits of software. Macintosh 13" colour monitor. Very good quality - the old kind, which are apparently better than the newer ones that they started producing a couple of years later, so if you have any old Macs whose monitors need replacing...? Macintosh desktop printer. Works fine, as far as I know, though I haven't used it for a while. Has North American power cord, but comes with a plug converter if you want. Mac zip drive and about 6 100mb zip disks. Parallel port connector only. Software disks. Any other suggestions of how to get rid of this stuff? I have no car, so can't take it to the tip easily. I'd rather donate any usable bits to somewhere that might have some use for them; or barring that, somewhere that would recycle any bits of it that are recyclable, but again transport is a problem, so am hoping for people who want this stuff who might collect it. Or I guess I can pay some amount for the council to collect? Please email res23@cantab.net if you are interested in anything.
