Free pc hardware circa 2012 or later wanted for repurposing

I have a penchant for repurposing old unwanted hardware, stripping and cleaning systems and using the parts to make the best computer possible for stuff like retrogaming, NAS servers, creative workstations etc either for myself or to pass on to people I know personally and online who are in need of a machine.


I can pop round and leave a program to securely erase all data from hard discs, or do so at home and provide proof it has been done.


Hardware from 2012 and later is requested due to being more power efficient and less harmful elements used.


Am about to clear my backlog of stuff and would really appreciate hardware to work on as winter will be with ua soon and nothing pleases a geek more than having a shelf full of projects to work on, knowing it's been saved from the skip, landfill or sitting gathering dust in a reseller, likely never to be used again. Thanks for reading.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
