In cleaning out the old office, I've come across a bunch of old (vintage?) computer parts. All functional as far as I know so if anyone is interested let me know. 

I know that I have;
ethernet cables
ide cables
sata cables
usb cables
3.5 floppy drive (and possibly some 3.5 floppy discs to go with it)
mid tower computer less hard drive
1/2 rack on casters with server chassis and ups

I also have some computers (not parts)
that I could donate to the lab or to a person

It would be great if I could drop them off at the lab
and anyone who wants it could take it home.

Tower + flat screen monitor

thx

Hi Paul,
I'll be at the space today from about 1 - 4, glad to take your stuff in. You can call to check.

I suspect you can bring it all down. We do have a lot of cables, of course, but at the least, they will get to proper 
recycling. 

I'm personally interested in the half rack, if we don't need it at the Space, though it might be useful there.

I got it.  Thanks, wish I'd been there to say hello, at least. I was delayed by Sears having a sudden opening to fix the air conditioner in my car....

I started the computer, it boots up nicely, did it have any particular problem that inclined you to get rid of it--other than age, that is. 

Was the monitor working last you knew? It seemed to try to start, then shut off.
