    Hard Drives and Monitors, oh MY!

    Since I couldn't sleep thought I'd do some inventory on items down in the shop I still need to rid myself of, from this last load..

    40 flat screen monitors ( 15 & 17in, will pop these on eBay since nobody has taken my offer to be my ebayer! ) CL for me is a no go for selling these things. My CL sucks.

    10 80 GB Barracuda HDs
    5 82.3 GB Hitachi HDs
    10 40 GB Western Digital HDs

    60+ Cd-rw/dvd roms...

    50 3.5 floppy drives...



    I'm afraid what else I'll find hidden away, so stopping here.

    Now..to rid myself of all this instead of using them as fancy paperweights for all my Mylar..haha!

    Sirscrapalot - What do you call someone with more then one remote control? A control freak! Ha!

    I keep a few of each of those around, as I tinker with computers myself. A few DVD/RWs, a few DVD ROMS (good for having a second unit there for direct DVD-DVD transfers), hardly much use for even the CD RWs anymore, but I keep a very few of the better ones, as well as a few of the better Floppy drives(just for old time sake I guess, if it says China it usually gets scrapped, but others like Malaysia or Japan are better ones for keeping around, in my book anyway)
    And, of course, the usable hard drives, but you can also sell those at a decent price on Ebay
