People Still Use Monitors? (and other Free Geekery)

[chuckm.livejournal.com]

I noticed this guy actually found a taker for a Free Monitor. I was about to shell out the $20 to get it recycled, but if people still use them,
I have a 17" Sony Trinitron monitor for FREE that works perfectly with no damage -- just too big for me to take to NYC. Any takers? Same general location -- Cedar St, near Elm.

I also have a random box of old cables I'm disposing of --- USB/ethernet/printer power, a pile of old cards (mostly 10/100 network cards), and some random fun geeky stuff (X11 video transceiver, wireless keyboard w/ old style round connector, Joysticks with sound card connectors, MadCatz multiple RCA input selector for old game systems). Your welcome to come take a look through it and see if anything is useful to you.

Bigger ticket items we're gonna try to sell yard sale style next week (Dreamcast with games, nerf guns etc, CD holders), so be watching for the official announcement.

Do you have any longish ethernet (cat5 or better) cables? If you do, I will take them sight unseen.

[chuckm.livejournal.com]

Define longish? I think I've got some 10 footers, but most are 5-8.

[mrpet.livejournal.com]

I need 25' and longer. Patch cables are not long enough. Thanks for looking.

[chuckm.livejournal.com]

Sorry, nothing like that. Got rid of all the super long cables when I got the wireless network.

[mrpet.livejournal.com]

I also have a wireless but I need to move the combo router/access point to a central location and I don't want to spend the money on new cables if someone has some laying around collecting dust :)

Interested in the monitor (the Sun monitor I'm using now doesn't interact the right way with the vpn switching I'm doing with it).

[chuckm.livejournal.com]

Sure thing. Can you pick it up? I work from home, so pretty much any time during the day is good for me. Hit me up at my LJ email.

Enjoy the monitor!

What do you mean, "people still use monitors?" What else would they use? :P

Of course, I assume you mean CRTs. And why wouldn't they? Aren't LCDs still mad expensive?

I'd also question the keyboard statement... I didn't think they had wireless keyboards back when they were using XT/AT keyboard ports. Are you calling PS/2 old-style? Geez, I'm feeling old here. Hehe.

I might be interested in some of the Dreamcast games, if you're willing to split them from the system (or sell the system decently cheap. I already have one, but it's dying) What do you have?

19" Ultrasharp LCD monitor - $247.20

17" (really 16")CRT monitor - $199

I've got Shenmue, Chu Chu Rocket, DOA 2.... uh... wait, I think I've got this somewhere...

Sega Dreamcast w/
Manuals
Extra Controller
Rumble Pack
Demo Disk
Web Browser
Chu Chu Rocket
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2
Jet Grind Radio
Dead or Alive 2
Shenmue

That's the list. I want to keep the game with the system to save hassle, but I'd be willing to go pretty cheap. Maybe $30?

As far as monitors, I mainly use laptops so the thought of having this towering behemoth taking up deskspace is not a very attractive option. I'll probably get an LCD once I get settled into NYC. I'm a Mac guy these days, so I'm use to things being expensive.

[ah42.livejournal.com]

Pfft. $30? I'll take it. Just for Chu Chu.

Let me know when the yard sale is :)

[chuckm.livejournal.com]

This Sunday, 1-4. Can ya make it?

Otherwise we can definitely make a special arrangement.

[kpht.livejournal.com]

OMG nerf guns!?!

[chuckm.livejournal.com]

Yup. I've got a wildfire. You pump it up like a water gun. Shoots 20 darts. I've alos got this thing that shoots rubber rings like 250 feet. Pretty cool.

[kpht.livejournal.com]

and you're not bringing those to brooklyn WHY?!!?

[chuckm.livejournal.com]

Need to downsize. Brooklyn apartments are SMALL.

Plus its no fun when you're the only one in your office. There yours if you feel like coming down Sundfay.

[kpht.livejournal.com]

we're in DC this weekend :( thank you, though. i'd soo take them, but our house is tiny, too. imagine how much i could annoy both mike *and* the dog!

[kissoflife.livejournal.com]

Well, gee, if you got a reply that fast... I also have a 17" IBM CRT to give away. Works perfectly, I just managed to find a 21"er.

Leave a comment in my lj(or replying to this) and we'll work it out. Next stop Freecycle if not here...

[hakamadare.livejournal.com]

hey, i’ll take that off your hands; a graphic artist i know needs a new monitor asap. you can email my LJ account with instructions for pick up.

thanks,

While we're at it, I also have a 14" monitor to give away.
(I also have a postscript color networked laser printer
that I'd like to donate to a charity, but it's heavy and out
of black toner. Any charities here want it?)
