where can i get cheap or free old pc

Hiya,

Just thought I'd let you know a local guy running a Disc Depot in Dundee supplied and fitted my new PSU for £20, where as PC World wanted £70 approx.

Just dropped the tower off and picked it up a few days later (he also fixed a dodgy floppy drive FOC at the same time).

Have you asked around friends and family. I've managed to get one free off a friend who had an old one she had since replaced...treating her to dinner as a thankyou!

i don't know if I'd find someone as decent as that.

what's wrong with the one you have?

freecycle still sounds the most appealing. Do they have rules about re-posting a request? Anyone know how long to wait first etc.?

Not *exactly* local but Gladiator Computers (https://www.gladiatorcomputers.com) in Manchester are top notch, they do a PSU for under 10 quid and would probably fit it for not much more.

Just to let you know that someone has replied to my freecycle request so fingers crossed I am sorted. Thanks to everyone for the help and advice.
