I just got a surplus of tons of computer supplies
I am not trying to sell or advertise at all here. I just want some honest information about these devices.

I have a lot of these Cornerstone Image Accel 2 video cards


an I have lots of 200 watt power supplies

50 or so Pentium 3 slot processors. an Pentium 2.



But even more video cards, an Ethernet cards, an mother boards & indeed a a lot of dis colored CD drives, like a lot of them, a couple dvd drives and so on.

all from computers 1996-2000 it seems.

I just wanna melt it down for all the gold, which is not a lot. but hey.

anyways if anyone could help out, it would be cool to get some money from this stuff, but who knows it might be worth nothing at all.

In all honesty I don't think the equipment has any resale value. You might want to consider donating them to what you classify as a worthy cause. I believe some prisons have a program where inmates rebuild computers. Check around. If nothing else I think a donation to some of the charities maybe worth a tax writeoff. Having worked for a non-profit organisation that dealt with donated equipment (In particular computers) I can reccomend calling them first and seeing if they would be willing to look at it and decide for themselves. It is truly unfortunate but a lot of people use places like Goodwill, St. Vincent De. Paul (where I worked) as a dumping ground. It actually hurts the business when people do that because of such things as wages, and trash fees for example.

Check into it.

here is a link to the value of the video-cards (doesn't mean you will get that for it)

The processors have very little value, unless someone has a computer with a p3 processor that failed and they don't want to buy a new computer.

You can try offing them on ebay for some money.

Honestly, it would have most value to a computer repair person/company.
