8/8     I know this has been asked before but what is a good place to get
        rid of a really really really old PC Case (not ATX)? BTW I'm keeping
        the power supply just cuz it's cool.
        \_ Sell?  Try ebay or CL.  Get rid of it?  CL, motd, or throw it out.
                              \_ CL?
                                 \_ craigslist
        \_ Alameda County Computer Resource Center http://www.accrc.org
           1501 Eastshore Avenue, near Gilman
           \_ Thank you for this.  It's the most useful thing I've seen
              on motd in at least a decade.  -pld

3/29    A friend wants a PC (no mac). She doesn't want Dell. Is there a
        good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
        card--no game)?
        \_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
           having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
           most machines were custom built.

4/22    In the old days there was VGA and life was fine. DVI was quite
        tolerable. Then Mac f***ed it up and came up with mini-DVI
        and I had to get new connectors. Then DVI to VGA to my
        older monitor. Now I have to deal with a bunch more shit
        like displayport, mini-displayport, HDMI, and mini-HDMI.
        Sometimes you can't even go the other way, like from

1/26    What's a good motherboard I can get that will fit in a 1U
        case, with sata connectors, gig-e ethernet, and lots of
        slots for RAM?  I also don't want to have to use expensive
        double buffered RAM.  Can you tell I havne't bought a PC in
        years?  thanks.
        \_ Buy a mac. Haven't you heard? if you don't buy a Mac people

8/1     PCs are cheaper and offer more bang for bucks. So why do I still prefer
        Apple? To signal reproductive suitability. The same reasons why
        people buy stupid fancy cars and stupid name brand clothes.

5/26    Finished Braid; beautiful game. Good job, blojo. Looking forward to
        the Next Thing; will be more than happy to kick out another $15
        for quality like this. --erikred
        \_ I hate this game. I've been up until 1AM the last two nights.
           Normally I go to bed around 11:30PM. Sooo tired. But it is
           beautiful. First PC game I've purchased in 9 years.

5/7     What's a good reverse port forwarding for a PC(inside firewall) ->
        Unix, so that I can VNC into the Unix that gets forwarded to
        PC's VNC server?

Alameda County Computer Resource Center Who? What? When? Why? Where? Whack? Support Do you like what we do? Do you want to support us? Pick something up from our attempt at blatent commercialism. Volunteer. Spread the word. News The ACCRC will be looking for the next holiday excuse to be closed. So check out our phone message or web site before you visit. The ACCRC is now home to the famous Junk Yard Super Computer, the infamous free-shelf, and the always popular free Internet and gaming cafe. Check out the price list and visit our store! The ACCRC was featured in a KRON 4 news story. But you already know this. Well take it! We are the Alameda County Computer Resource Center, a 501c3 non-profit corporation. We will recycle anything you can plug into a power outlet that doesnt have food put inside of it on a regular basis. This means well recycle your computer, your VCR, your Television, but not your microwave, your washing machine, or your refrigerator. When you give us your computer, you will receive a tax write-off, and we will attempt to fix your equipment and then give it away to someone who would otherwise never be able to afford a computer. If your equipment is completely dead, it will be recycled in an environmentally friendly manner. To recycle your equipment, simply bring it to us during our open hours. No appointment is needed. Nothing is too old or too broken. We charge a fee for most types of items, so bring cash, check, or Visa/Mastercard. We charge a small recycling fee for most equipment. These fees are used to insure that we will have the funds to properly dispose of all non-functioning equipment. We must charge these fees no matter whether the equipment you are donating is functioning or not. There are no exceptions for non-profits or schools. Unfortunately, it is not cheap to recycle electronics properly. Any electronics recycler who is not charging a fee is very likely shipping the equipment to China or the Philipenes where it will probably be stripped of its copper and then thrown in a landfill or river. The ACCRC does not ship electronic scrap overseas for the purposes of recycling. The only equipment we send out of North America are rebuilt PCs for donation to foreign charities. Typical Questions Answered: What do we think about the whole SCO vs. IBM/SGI/linux users/PWCSPeople with common sense debacle? How much are your disposal fees? How Do I find you? Where is the Marin Computer Recycling center ? How do I apply for a computer? How can I destroy my data before I give you my hard drive? Do you do pickups ?
