368736 2005-07-02 04:37:00 I have several 14" screens that i saved from a local skip. They are flash enough that i can plug them into my laptop, and they go. 1024x768 71hz refresh rate.
There's also one that cant cope with those settings, but is clearly firing all colors.

I live in CHCH, have too much junk, so some of these are free to a good home.

I'm also hoping to find, or buy cheaply, a case, motherboard, CPU and RAM for a machine that i can use as a fileserver and gateway. It must be flash enough to cope with 80 and 120 Gb HDDs. The disks came of a VA503 (?) mobo with 450 Mhz CPU, and 256Mb of RAM

Does anyone have something gathering dusts that might meet my needs?

368739 2005-07-02 05:53:00 If you get no takers do see if Molten Media will take them off you before you dump them.

They may be able to help with your other query as well.

I've been in there a number of times..... Actually i know the people who formed molten media... Bunch of anarcists and radical elements ha ha ha.. Even worked there back when it was in Lichfield Street (a long long time ago) They have nothing to do with the people who run and work at Molten Media now! Ha ha ha ha ha......

It looks like they will be the lucky recipiants. No one else wants the monitors!

Seems that way..... some had to be run at full brightness and contrast, but otherwise fine.
