What should I do with these computers? Anonymous 06/30/2021 (Wed) 01:27:09 No. 4661 >>4720
I have a few computers lying around my house that I don't use anymore or inherited and I'm trying to find what to do with them. To answer the question of why I don't use them, it's because I already have a laptop, tablet, and desktop that already suit my basic needs. So, what should I do with these aside from tossing them (Which I think is a waste)? Here are the models I have: >Kaypro 10 >Dell Latitude CPi A-Series >HP Pavillion G7 1355dx >HP Pavillion 500-424

>that Latitude damn i used to have one just like that. man it was a piece of shit.
>>4661 (OP) > What should I do with these computers? sell them
Give em to me, I'll use them.
>Kaypro 10 You should sell. I have no idea how rare it is but it might fetch a decent price among retro collectors. >Dell Latitude Install Windows 98 on it and make it a DOS/Win9x era retro gaming machine. Or keep it stored somewhere and hope that in 5 - 10 years it will increase in value with retro collectors. Or throw it in the trash. >HP Pavilion desktop and laptop These machines still have pretty decent specs for basic use, and can run Windows 10 or current Ubuntu / Mint just fine. You could turn one of them into a HTPC or living room web browsing machine. You can try selling them for about 100 bucks each, but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle. If not, donate them (i.e. to a school or some poorfag who is in need of a working PC).
>>4728 HP pavillions are one of the only decent modern pc with good floppy and ISA support making them really good for tinkering with old things, they'll be worth money soon if you don't offload them

>>21812 I thought I was on /g/
I have a HP vectra, it's an ancient server(?) from 1986, it has an ethernet port, would it be possible for me to use this as a gobetween so I could use 8' floppies somehow?
damn that Kaypro one looks 水 as fuck. if you still have it all these years later and are not gonna sell it then recycle the internals that aren't usable and see if you can get an RPi 5 or some other board working with the other components, replacing the ones that don't work with modern ones obviously. >>21812 this site is alive again nigger, try stopping us from reigniting a discussion that is still potentially relevant today
>>22393 King
You should make terminals to access your server from around the house
Sell them and buy an oled?
>>21812 I'm still here. >>22393 >if you still have it all these years later and are not gonna sell it I still have them, the problem is finding a place to sell it, if not recycle it. Tossing things seems like an absolute waste when there's a high demand for vintage stuff these days. Also was clearing out the basement this morning and found some PDAs and old phones that I need to test and see if they work. But like I said, part of the problem is finding out who would want these, if not where I can recycle them (Preferably for money because I have shit I want to do).
