I've got a ton of old computer cables I'm getting rid of. Old display port stuff for old Macs, dvi, hdmi, vga, rca, dvi, usb of all flavors, network cables, etc.

Short of salvation army, any better places to take them?

Same with a few 3tb and smaller enterprise grade hard drives that have been wiped. Couple 1080p monitors, old layer 2 switches too.

Understood, I'm trying to find them a useful home if possible. Only reason I had a lot of this stiff was from working on people's older computers, maybe someone else out there could find it useful

If you’re on facebook, there might be a BuyNothing group for your area. Guaranteed someone will take them off your hands.

I'll have to ask my sister to list for me. Left Facebook so long ago.

Try posting over on retrocomputers. A reader in the Austin area might want them.
