I need to make space so I'd like to rehome them. But, other than tipping them, I'm at a bit of a loss to work out how to find if anyone might be interested.
So can anyone suggest if there's any places out there where there might be people interested in this stuff, or should I just tip them?
I have three old PCs lying around, all original Pentium, roughly 90-200MHz kind of vintage. Let's say ~1997 or thereabouts. One might be a Pentium Pro, I'd have to check. I think two are Intel branded, the other one is a no-brand random collection of ISA cards. The ISA one runs Windows 95, the others have some old version of Debian on them.

In the US there's a PC retrogaming scene, but it doesn't appear there's a great deal of one over here - not many sales of old PC stuff on ebay. I could part them out, but not sure there's much demand for ISA cards or SIMMs or whatever. None of them have GPUs, just regular old 90s SVGA.

I am tempted, how much?
Across YouTube there are 'bearded explorer' types that venture upon a
field or barn filled with abandoned cars in various states of encrumblement.

Are any of them minimally-sized desktop ATX machines, by any chance? I'm currently building an Amiga A4000tx, an A4000 motherboard recreated in
ATX shape, and I'm struggling really badly to find a box that isn't a
massive black&RGB tower to put it in...
Also interested in the simms for the same purpose :) I have a pair of
8meg FPM but who knows if they'll work.
The other innards may be of interest to some folks I know who have a
habit of building 90s-compatible computers for old games. I stick to my MiSTer's 486@33MHz (ish) FPGA core for my pre-3D card fix, far less
trouble.
Where can I find a really cheap secure storage facility with a solid
roof and walls that won't let in the rain and weeds.
Deserted nuclear power station? Bunker?
