I can use ddr and ddr2 ram for a couple of my older machines.  I'm in longmont and will have to arrange pick up.  Thanks.

I want to get rid of some incidentals, e.g., the keyboard and mouse bundled with the Dell 9020s (not cost effective for even the minimal customization to remove the keyboard and mouse from the package), the 2 GB memory sticks in the Optiplex 960s these systems are replacing, etc.

I know someone in the area collects old (but not too old) hardware and resells it on ebay (I think). I know there used to be groups that rebuilt old systems for the poor but chromebooks and tablets are now so cheap it might not be cost-effective vs. simply getting a deal on those devices.

Unfortunately I can't remember if they're on this list or the freecycle list. If nobody remembers I think the Boulder recycling program has someone who strips the trash for usable components but I would rather give it to people I know will try to reuse/resell it. It's just not worth the hassle for me to try selling it on ebay myself.

So I'm tossing out the question if anyone knows someone who wants these incidentals. There's nothing wrong with them - I'm just not going to go from a $100 mechanical or hybrid-mechanical keyboard to a $10 membrane keyboard.
