Free working computer parts wanted

One of my most enjoyable hobbies is making pc's entirely from recycled parts, like emulation stations, NAS machines etc. I recently helped build a friend the guts of an arcade machine from bits and bobs kindly donated by people of the forum.


Am looking for (free) components or computers made after 2010 as they are more power efficient than older parts and also less prone to failing.


Graphics cards, decent branded power supplies, working motherboards with ram and processors, cases that can be worked on, flat screen monitors etc are all welcome.


Hard drives and SSD's are also always welcome and I can either show you how to completely wipe them of all data (a windows/mac format will NOT do this and leaves your personal information open to abuse) and collect them when they are wiped - this is best practice, or as I have done before, I can take them home and show you via whatsapp video, your drive/s being fully wiped.


I hate to see old parts/computers dumped and going to waste, if you would like to have yours made good use of rather than going to landfill please get in touch. Thank you for reading.

    • I do not know how old you are, but if you are clearly an older person ( please forgive if not the case) I think what these kids did is even more despicable. It seems clear this is not just misguided hijinks.
    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.
