_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Hey Guys Some of you will know I run computer recycling company IT Recycla in wellington I have a consignment come in of very good spec machines, core2duo machines come in the catch is they are quite tatty, case severly scratched etc, and overall pretty untidy, but they do run very well etc etc Seems a real waste to scrap them. So perfect for garage PCs that will get scuffed and knocked anyways. Is there any interest here for a few setups? will provide screen keyboard mouse etc to go with them. $150 shipped to your door for complete core2 setup.

lord_jagganath 421 Report post Posted July 22, 2014 may be interested in an i5 rig, would it be on board or dedicated graphics? more importantly, sound must be connected to hdmi port. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted July 23, 2014 may be interested in an i5 rig, would it be on board or dedicated graphics? more importantly, sound must be connected to hdmi port. the i5 ones have display port built in, no external card. Havent decided what to do with those yet, we may tidy them up and sell. these core2s, some have the dual DVI port 256MB NVidia cards, some of them run straight off VGA mother board. You can choose which This thread more for the scruffy but working well Core2s that would be uneconomical to repair the cases etc, I have about 300 or so here. 2.4GHz+ 1GB+ HDD 80GB+ wont gaurentee specs, but they are all working, and plenty grunty for a garage setup. Would rather not put too much IT jargon in here, im aware not everyone here knows what it all means. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

handgrenade 189 Report post Posted July 23, 2014 hey andy i need a new 'server' machine to play movies on my tv and run ummm downloads of perfectly legal viewing entertainment. (old one died) will a core2 duo be happy with that? my gaming rig has subbed in temporarily and it seems a little overkill to run an hdmi output and download stuffs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
