Back in Pattaya, I have a condo where I have a couple motherboards, a processor (Core2Duo E6750, 2.66Ghz) and various RAM sticks (desktop & notebook, DDR2 & DDR3) stashed in a cupboard that I could bring back to Hua Hin on a future trip.
I also have an Acer Pentium-M 2Ghz notebook that has seen better days. Rubber feet on the bottom missing, finish worn off the plastic case in places, etc. I have the original recovery CD's as well. Does that have potential for a new home?
It's been a few years and I "never got around to" carting those computers to your shop. Are you still interested? I'm moving from Hua Hin, and my motivation now to finally donate them would be to minimize the stuff I move.buksida wrote:Providing it works you can leave it at the HH Ham & Bacon shop on soi 41, same goes for the laptop (providing it works and you have the power adapter).
Update
Thanks to all those that have donated working components and machines, we have been very busy lately so the project has been put on hold temporarily, it will be resumed when time permits. Please note that we do not need broken or malfunctioning hardware such as printers with no ink or power adapters, the cost of replacement cartridges often equals that of a new printer. Computers over 5 years old are also more hassle that they're worth, simply moving them around often causes hardware failures. If its busted bin it!
In addition to the P4 system I mentioned above, I have an even older D820 (or D830? can't remember). I know I had these systems running since I moved to Hua Hin 2.5 years ago, so I don't think they're fragile. they have working hard drives with Windows (probably XP?) and video, but no monitor/keyboard/mouse.
(The e6750 is in a new mini-case with an SSD and will be given to my sister on my next trip to the USA, so that's "off the market," as is the notebook which I'm thinking of turning into a NAS device.)
