You may recall a week or so back, this haul I got from my high school's IT department. Long story short I got rewarded with several cards for fixing a laptop for the school's robotics club. I'm supposed to be the head programmer for the club, but since build time doesn't start until January I don't have a whole lot to do, so I've been digging through the parts to see what else they have. What I found was an absolute TREASURE TROVE, including but not limited to:
- Geforce 256
Geforce 2 Ultra
Geforce 2 Ti
Geforce FX 5700 Ultra
AWE64 Value PnP
ESS 1869-based card (Compaq Premier Sound)
Voodoo 3 3000
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
Hercules Rendition card (Verite V2200)
Cirrus Logic GD-5430
I'm practically certain all this stuff is just sitting around waiting to be "recycled" so I want to save as much as I can. But how? I could do them another favor, but nothing has come up yet. I could just tell them not to recycle it but I believe a decision like that would be up to the school administrators and not necessarily the department. (I have a feeling they'd choose to recycle it all so it would send a good message on how they're "sustainable" and other such greenwashing spiel.) And I'm not straight up stealing anything either, NOT willing to get suspended/expelled during my senior year over ISA cards. Any ideas?
