Computer Equipment for Donation (N Texas)

I will finish the weekend project to clean out the garage and computer room today. Or at least most of it.

Rather than Craigslist the valuable IT stuff, I will offer it to any FReeper that FReepmails me.

I am near Waxahachie, south of Dallas. It is best if you can come get it this afternoon.

Even out in the country, once this stuff hits the curb it disappears quickly.

So far I have multiple computers, some fairly recent, all in a state of (dis)repair. Scanners, printers, hard drives etc.

The stuff you expect when you visit a geek friend that has been in the business for 20+ years.

Hey, FReepmail me and I'll give you directions.

Most is repairable, all has value.

Nice.....As a condition of your donation, make sure they Fold one for the Gipper"

I put out a 2.8 GHz Compaq that will certainly fold.

Some of the older stuff ... maybe fold not so good.

We found our old TI 99 complete system, including a pCode card and expansion box. Used to program in Forth, Pascal and assembly with it.

Rare are these.

Wow, i’d definitely pick up some stuff from you, Except per Google Earth I live exactly 1,558 miles from the corner of Elm and Main!
My GF has become obsessed with old video arcade games from the 80’s and i want to build her a separate machine to play the games on to get her off my pc.
It's an Arcade machine emulator software called MAME.
I got an old 400 mhz kicking around somewhere that should work though.

I've had a PS3 now since Jan and was thinking of firing up the folding Feature. Is there a thread here on FR that shows you the ropes on setting up and joining the team?
I used to run SETI all the time on my PC but that was years ago.

Please look here and see if it helps. We did a PS3 folding thread a year ago.

You should go here for detailed directions:

I think that the PS3 works best if you update the BIOS from the Sony store, restart and then download the software from the Sony store.

Please use your FReep name and Team 36120.

Thanks.
That will be my after dinner project tonight.
