Throwing out some G3 towers, Anyone want 'em? - David S - 10-17-2008 I have eight stripped beige G3 towers and desktops. I'm hauling them to the town dump/recycling center next week. Not interested in selling them, shipping them, or parting them out for a few paltry nickels. Anyone near Boston want a few? Re: Throwing out some G3 towers, Anyone want 'em? - volcs0 - 10-17-2008 I CL'd my G3 about a year ago. It was a pain - but I finally got someone to take it. I think you will find it an effort to give them away. I will look through my email to see if I can find the guy (in Boston) who took it - he seemed interested in old macs.

Recyclers will paw at your door for anything that's free and made of plastic and metal. "Free scrap metal/plastic" in the headline should work.

Re: Throwing out some G3 towers, Anyone want 'em? - guitarist - 10-18-2008 I'd rush right over, but my buggy wheels needs new spokes, and my horses are afraid of all those cars. Re: Throwing out some G3 towers, Anyone want 'em? - cbelt3 - 10-18-2008 heck, I bought three of them from a guy four years ago for $10. And they were full of confidential data ! which I erased, stripped the RAM from two, dumped it in one, and tried to Xpostfacto it..Then bought a G4 on lemswap for like $75 shipped. Want another one ? Re: Throwing out some G3 towers, Anyone want 'em? - PeterB - 10-18-2008 Hmmm... if you still have 'em, stuff I might be interested in: 1) The 'Wings' personality card 2) The VRAM chip 3) The RAM/hard drives ... we have a few of those at my institution, they're still useful for the fact of the AV capabilities being built in-- too bad those same capabilities don't work in OS X. |
