Idea's for donating/recycling server hardware [Off-Topic]
I apologize for being somewhat off topic... I've got a fair amount of SPARC hardware (v210 through v490) and 32bit HP DL360-380 hardware that I'm looking for creative ways to dispose of or to donate. It seems like a waste to send it to metal scrap, if anyone has a more creative way of disposal please contact me off list. Local to San Francisco. *disclaimer, contributions cannot go to religious or political organizations per corp policy* Thanks! -wil

Wil, It's certainly a shame to trash these. This is very appealing platform for some linux/bsd internals devel and testing. I'm not local to SF, but if you're willing to package & ship a couple of them, I'll cover the expenses. This will be for non-profit/educational development. Let me know! Regards, Anthony
There's also http://www.nsrc.org at UOregon - as good a home as any for any gear you want to trash. On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 4:35 AM, Wil Schultz <wschultz@bsdboy.com> wrote:

It may not be as widespread in the US, but certainly over here, the average university will have some kind of (computer|networking) society who'd generally bite your arm off for old gear.

What about http://www.freecycle.org/ ?
Thank you for all of the replies, the response has been overwhelming. :-) I think we're going to be able to do some good stuff with this "junk", i'm going to start contacting some folks and get things going here shortly. Thank you! -wil Begin forwarded message:
