Are there any computer wreckers style places in Brissy. Looking for a cheap POS laptop for a linux project. All it needs is a bit of RAM and a CD drive. Oh and a power source. :confused:

I went to an auction a while ago at a place near Archerfield airport - I think is was Grays - a huge shed full of not so old computers - and other stuff.

Auctions every week or so, apparently...

PCs were going out the door from $5. Hundreds and hundreds of them.

I picked up a 3 yo grunty Mac for $300, in perfect condition - new, it was around $5,000.......

If you're looking for cheap it's better to go to the real auctions, not the online ones.

Yeah, that's the mob. Get a list of whats being auctioned (which I think you can get online from them) so you pick the right computer auction day etc... and be prepared to spend some time there - so much stuff goes out the door.....

good luck
