I went to the recycling yard the other day to look for
old computers for spare parts so I can learn how to
build a computer from scratch .

I got about 7 computers here and will be great for parts

when I woke up this morning dying from wine consumption
I was looking at one of the computers and I thought
to myself jaysus that looks in fairly good condition
wonder whats wrong with it confused

I plugged it in hooked it up to a monitor
and it switched right on laugh dancing

I just got a free dell computer conversing

why was it thrown out ?

Its working perfectly ha ha ha laugh

I guess one persons rubbish is anothers treasure yay

thanks ann ryan whoever you are ha ha teddybear ireland

Ya got there before the tinkers did fair play conversing

Dell are a bad crowd to have contracts with, they sign 'em up for 5 or 10 years whatever the case maybe and replace the computers every few years and charge above board for the price...Most goverment institutions operate off Dell and it's a waste of taxpayers money........but still I'm not one for my conspiracies uh oh

State Agencies and departments have to tender out virtually all of their purchases, including IT equipment . Dell win most of these contracts as they are generally able to supply the large amounts of PC's required at lower prices, however bad and all as their products are.

Do old PC's then go back to Dell or do they go to recylcing plants?
