Stay on topic please.
A forum I used to frequent had a thread like this, a “pay it forward” if you will. It worked well.
I think it might be best to see if this could be limited to basic members or above? It’s not much, but I just don’t like internet scavengers that just troll for free stuff and then just leave. Not my thread though.
Would shipping for fans be acceptable? I have like a dozen 120mm fans that I don’t need, but I also don’t want to cover shipping on them because of their size.
I like fixing stuff to give to others. Not like I have much better to do. Community service has always been high on my list next to playing SNES games and watching cartoons.
I’m down with this. I have a lot of really old stuff that I don’t need but figure are worth something to somebody (mostly really old CPU’s and RAM), so I have been saving them. I purged a lot of motherboards but they stopped working. As far as I know the CPU’s and much of the RAM should still work.
That’s actually my main problem - motherboards. I have a lot of hardware that could make several complete systems if they had a functioning motherboard. I’m mostly moving on to newer, low power consumption machines, so I’ve lost interest in messing with a lot of my older hardware.
I also like the idea that the thread is protected from the drive-by sniping of internet rando’s.
Defects: one cover is missing and no power adapter, however it’s fully working and running on openWRT
Location: Gemeente de Wolden, Netherlands
Expiration date: Two weeks from now i’ll trash it.
Status: available

i mentioned a few weeks ago that mine died.
