I was going to take a trip to the tip, but remembered previously that OOF members may be able to make use of them, either themselves of for small clubs they may be involved in.
Base Units Only. ie, no screens, keyboard or mice (though I may be able to find some screens).
All have a licenced Windows 10 Pro digital licence, and will have a fresh Win10 Pro install put on them.
All have a hard drive, not SSD, in excess of 200Gb.
All have 2Gb or more RAM.
HP dc7800 Small Form Factor, Core2 Duo, with PS/2 keyboard and mouse
Dell Dimension 9200 Tower, Core2 Quad - no onboard video, but has ATI Radeon X1500 or similar in
Dell OptiPlex 755 Ultra Small Form Factor, Core2 Duo
Collection from Brakkers or OOF's postal service.

IMHO, Core2 is getting long in the tooth. Yet I'm typing this on my old favour laptop, which is a Core2 Duo ;D

Well done TB :y
nice to see some recycling rather than landfill :)
I run an old RM branded intel board DQ965GF with E7400 with 4 Gig of ram
it copes fine for browsing, email, youtube and EBAY ;D
I should swap to something newer,but it works

PM sent, TB :)

Ebay is one of the few sites I find Core2 type CPUs suffer with, as all the embedded ads cause IE/FF/Edge to hammer the CPU.
But, yes, I think they are otherwise perfectly usable machines :y
-
The HP, having PS/2 ports, now has a brand new HP branded keyboard and mouse.
The Dell 9200 is now spoken for.
-
Anyone have an Epson inkjet that takes "Hummingbird" (T80x) ink?
-
Thanks to TB for the computer....I now have a computer that is nice and quiet in the bedroom so I can watch iplayer and Amazon video, etc.
Bloody near broke my back carrying it upstairs, but worth the hassle. :)
Thanks, TB...much obliged. :)
-
You're welcome. That PC has a claim to fame in that it ran OOF for about a year before I could get a shiny new ProLiant at a sensible price.
It wasn't heavy, you weakling ;D. Granted, slightly taller than a mini tower case, but far short of full tower :)
-
Last calls on the HP 7800 and the Dell OptiPlex, and the Epson ink.
Both those PCs are quite runners. The Dell I used to use in the garage, as it was handy to have a proper PC in the garage. I *think* both of them have old parallel and serial ports if you're using old tools and programmers :)

Hardly any fire damage.

That one was never seen again ;D

If no one wants the Optiplex I'll take it. :y

Its yours. Will chuck in a HDD and shove Win 10 Pro on it.
Want a load of NCDC related bits to go with it, all in various states of disrepair? Defo a working telematics in there, as it came out of MV6. All I plan on keeping is one complete NCDC2013 and one CID, just to use as spares for her car.
-
If it needs a home!
Yes I can keep the OOF NCDC spares store going 😊 happy to supply parts, if I have them, if people require them. :y
-
Reference our chat, TB...my comps run on unbuffered Non-ECC ram. DDR3.
If you have spare sticks that you are going to 'dump', send them this way. The more I have for my flight sim here and at the caravan, the better. :)
Real shame about the ECC stuff, that would have been the bees knees !!! But it won't run on my PC's :(
-
What I have is Registered (almost the opposite of unbuffered), which is a shame. The ECC makes diddlysquat difference, as a non ECC board will ignore the extra bits.
I'll have a gander for some unbuffered DDR3, but if I do have any, they will be small.
