         There’s isn’t a day that goes by in TCD without a wine & cheese event somewhere on campus. We can all stand in a old mouldy room that way, feeling important and suitable toff-like.

               It sounds unbriebearable.

   The state of that gear, ould shite tbh. More likely a care taker was tasked with chucking this stuff rather than an IT department.

         that was a quick burst in the pipeline alright. Wonder do they take cache for removal to recycling?

      You sound like a BASIC BITCHER (Apologies Kate Moss. Basic – get it?) Good name for a #diversity #tech group actually: BASIC Bitches beats Geek Girls Dinners .

      Whatever happened Martha Rotter anyway?

   Most look like off the shelves Dell or the like but the one in foreground (the one drinking) looks like nothing else. Maybe a PhD Super Computer Project… Time machine…
   Anyone?

      Any hard disks evident? Whither data protection?

      Hook that sucker to a DeLorean and see what happens

   Surely they could have donated them to CAMARA? http://camara.org/donate/corporate-volunteering/?gclid=CNOD97Wry8YCFWGD2wod4FUO2Q

      They’ve probably been stripped of any useful parts.

         Plenty of lovely useful parts to anyone in there. PSUs a plenty, loads of fans, great steppper motors in the DVD drives, decent cabling. I’d put a price of about 20 quid on each of em. They’d have pulled out hte HDDs to destroyed em or swapped em out and most of the useable parts would be gone, might still have useful CPUs in em. Ye might be able to run them at low power with a stripped down version of Linux.
