Old Main Frame

Does anyone know what to do with an old mainframe type computer? I was hoping a collector might want it for free in lieu of it going to the landfill. I will try Best Buy first though. It is located in Minot, ND. I have a photo if anyone is interested.

OK I was able to attach a picture but not post it in a message.

Anyone interested can reach me @ environmental@ferrellgas.com. Like I said, I would rather give this to anyone that appreciates it rather than take it to Best Buy or a landfill. I just don't know if its of any interest to anyone.

OMG, some of you guys in the US need to hire a van and go get that. It looks to be in superb condition.

Crusty, I feel a road trip coming on :freakout:

I wish I could go get it, but am wondering what the expense would be if crated and shipped to Canada? I would maybe be able to work something that way? Man, my eyes are popping, my heart is racing and had to take a shot of nitro to calm it, and for the first time in a loooong time, ***** never mind****, that is personal. :twisted:

Woa! If I had the room I would love to have that >.<

Post some ads on Craigslist, I would hate to see something like that end up in the dump.
PS, I used to work at a tech as Circuit City, we would have not been able to take that in(Despite me wanting to!). I believe that Best Buy would feel the same..

PS, what kind of a mainframe is it? Know of any of the specs, years, or manufactures?
