Bits for charity
I am in the Stansted area and am having a clear out. I have a couple of working PCs (one book PC, one midi-tower PC in a Lian-Li case) plus a whole load of other bits and pieces. e.g.
Boxed Zalman CNPS3100 Gold fan/cooler (boxed)
Alcatel Speedtouch ADSL modem (boxed)
Asuscom ISDNLink ISDN modem (boxed)
JVC JLIP player pack (boxed)
D-Link DI-704 broadband router (boxed)
Busby 4 port USB 1.1 hub (boxed)
US Robotics SoundLink wireless audio system (boxed)
8 port 10BaseT ethernet hub (boxed)
ADS Technologies USB Instant DVD (boxed and still shrink wrapped)
MiniView 2 port USB KVM switch for PC & Mac (boxed)
Plus various external USB/Firewire drive enclosures, about 6 CD/DVD drives, 5 or 6 1.44 floppy drives, drawers full of cables. A couple of large UPS plus lots of power cables etc.
I could try and sell them, but I'd prefer to find someone who can find a good charitable or other use for them. I can obviously split them. I am at home till the 18th.
Any takers or suggestions?

Have you scrubbed the hard drives?
From the BBC Website:
"UK bank details sold in Nigeria
Bank account details belonging to thousands of Britons are being sold in West Africa for less than £20 each, the BBC's Real Story programme has found.
It discovered that fraudsters in Nigeria were able to find internet banking data stored on recycled PCs sent from the UK to Africa...........
Real Story's investigation into the risk of identity theft from old PCs will the broadcast on BBC 1 at 19:30 on Monday, 14 August."
