    Posted: 16 Apr 2011 at 8:21pm
I have a old Dell M992 CRT Monitor that I don't want or need anymore.  But, I'm not sure what to do with it.  It still works great, and in fantastic condition.  It's been in storage for the last couple years, but I really don't wanna keep it anymore.

I could try and sell it, but most people aren't using CRTs anymore.
I know dell has a recycling program.

Any thoughts?



-on the same subject, I also have an old Dell Dimension 4600 tower, and Dell A940 printer that I don't want anymore.

Any thoughts on these?

Thanks!

Leave it on for hours just to experience the fun of watching it degauss itself later. LOL.

As the other posters have pointed out, you should be able to donate or recycle it without much searching. A lot of recycling centers will take entire computers and monitors (not all do, but most I've dealt with have). Additionally, you should be able to donate those things to any place such as Goodwill, or local centers, such as FamilyLife, etc. The CRT you might actually be able to sell, depending on its specific specs, there are groups of people out there who still swear by them, though you might not make enough from it to justify the time or expense of selling it.

Thanks guys for your ideas!

Staples recycles Dell products for free.  I believe they have a partnership with Dell. So I'll probably just recycle the monitor and probably the printer too.  There is a Staples in town, so I'll probably pay it a visit.

As far as the tower, I'm considering using the parts to make a NAS.  I came across a article that a guy uses a similar dell system to make a NAS, so who knows.

But thanks for your help guys!
