Title: How to dispose of old computers
Post by: bageled on 21/11/2011, 02:35 PM
SO, I've got a very old tower, and three crts, 40inchers by the look of them, ie fucking huge.

I want to chuck them, where do I take them?

stick an Apple sticker on them and then sell them for a couple of grand... suckers wont know the difference anyway...

failing that.. they go to the tip. Usually , if they still work, there will be a tip shop where you drop them in, and they try and sell them...

Surely as a roebuck advocate you have come across this size before.

Yeah, they are massive, weight heaps too. CRT gives a really good image though, cost me $2,500 (http://www.eizo.com.au/products/coloredge/index.php) to get a flat screen that could do the same job as $75 second hand crt. The colour shift across a standard flat panel is dramatic. It's fine for most things, but doing graphic design on a standard flat screen is near impossible. A solid red square will be orange at the top and a deep red at the bottom.

could give this mob a call

big monitors like that probably won't be reused, unfortunately - most likely the metals will be reclaimed from them.

you aren't supposed to just dump them in the rubbish though because they're full of lead and other nasties.

The graphics designers at my work just use standard macs, all in one things with like a 26 inch screen
