I'm downsizing and I need to stop hoarding as much. I have lots of old mid 90's - late 90's computer towers that need to find new homes. I will give any of them away for free. Anyone interested?

I'm actually looking for a "nice" looking AT tower case.
Can be mini or midi tower.
However, as alexanrs has stated, shipping cost might be too high to make it worthwhile.

You can message me with more details of what you have available.

FYI: AK: Alaska: as remote as it get's on the North American continent.

Sorry, no IBM PS/ValuePoints. But the oldest PC on the list is a Packard Bell 286 puter but it might be faulty. Then I have a 486 Toshiba Satillite laptop. Then most everything else is 2nd gen. Pentiums thru Pentium 4s + AMD cpu equilvalents.

I agree, I probably will have each PC in parts separatly, as some of you are interested in just the computer cases. Shipping would probaby be close to $100 since I'm in Alaska. However if somebody really really wants to have a complete system I suppose I can arrange that. I can list a few motherboards off the top of my head. (I've sold mobos on eBay before and shipping was averaging $12) It wouldn't be a problem to plug a cpu and ram stick(s) to each.

Really sorry to hear you're offloading so much stuff.

While I'd love to move to a tower, I suspect the shipping to PA would be prohibitive (being the other side of the continent and all).

Any chance you have some loose but functional 5 1/4" flopping drives or old VLB/ISA IDE controller cards you're looking to offload? I'm definitely in need of one of those and I'm going to venture to guess they'd be a lot more reasonable to ship.

Shouldn't this be done via some other forum? Vogons has this buy/sell/trade prohibition...
