I see . . . ok, try craigslist and other analogous free ad places. Be upfront, say to readers that if they have hardware laying around that is not being used, or are considering/about to throw out some hardware, that you will take it off their hands. This is simply an online free ad twist to orib's post.
Back to dumpster diving: I have heard and read that college students are known to throw out laptops and other hardware come the end of the school year, granted, we are nearing the beginning of the year, however, it's worth a try.
Once upon a time, dumpster diving for electronics equipment/other hardware/whatever might be waiting to be found was an honorable hacker pursuit, kid. :)
I wish you the best of luck, and I have a feeling that you will succeed in your quest.
- kajecounterhack 18y agoHmm will try for fun, when I get a car =D I live in a suburb though. do you know where I should go for a good dumpster drive? I live an hour from NY, though I have a feeling thats not exactly the place to go...
- mroman 18y agoWell, I can't provide any info for your area, but there is: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/5.09/es_dumpster.html http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/5.09/es_dumpster.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumpster_diving http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumpster_diving Wish I could go, yet where I live (third world country) there's just no way. Luck, MR
- kajecounterhack 18y agoAh thanks I actually read the wiki right after you mentioned dumpster diving lol shows a lot about my culture as a teen in this day and age... x.x
