Computer part recycling [was: New Year's Cleaning]

[Tom Buskey]

You can see if some other geek wants your junk^H^H^H^Hhigh quality SGI
system :-)

Freecycle.org and Craiglist might find people that are interested.

To be fair, most of us geeks use stuff beyond the cycle.  I don't think many
on Craiglist would be interested in an SGI and I'd fear I'd get far too many
questions about installing Office.

Depending on the equipment, eBay.  I think if I offered the SGI for $0 +
shipping, I wouldn't get offers :-(

If you buy a computer from Apple, you can get a coupon to ship a monitor and
cpu to their recycling for free.

I'm looking for places too.
