Things for sale at Cyber Legends 2025

Stuff I’m thinking of bringing to Cyber Legends 2025.
Hi everyone,
I don’t know if this is the right place for this sort of post, or if there is going to be a separate ‘bring and buy’ thread relating to Cyber Legends 4.
Anyway, here goes.
I’m slowly decluttering and have the following items for disposal (non-Atari, sorry!)
To be clear, we’re talking about things that may need repair, or else broken up for parts. We are also talking about either beer/pizza money prices, or even free of charge. If anyone wants to take any of these away with them, I can bring them to Cyber Legends 2025.
1. Advent Model DT2304 desktop PC. Mum’s old desktop, she can no longer use it, as she’s been bed-bound for the last couple of years. It originally came with Windows 7, to give an indication of age. It did work until fairly recently and had updated to Windows 10, It starts, but no hard drive spinning up and not putting a BIOS screen up. There are hardly (never) used floppy and CD/DVD ROM drives included. There will be a screen and keyboard and mouse thrown in. (Even a set of speakers, if you like.)
2. Mac Mini 2011 Edition. Hard drive stopped working. There was an attempted revival with a solid state drive, but without success. (That drive is still in there.) I would have tried a bit harder with this one, only I’ve gone entirely over to laptop or mobile Devices for everyday use. Only sitting at a desk for my retro gear now. This is just sitting in a drawer. Monitor adaptor is thrown in.
3. Bag of bits, some very old PC Cards, I literally dumpster-dived for these, as thrown away at the tip. No warranty as to whether working or not. Some of the PCB’s are broken. May be of interest to hardware tinkerer looking for spare/rare parts for DOS era PC’s.
You can clearly see that the Ensoniq has been nibbled at the edge. There are other damaged and intact boards, which might be cobbled together into a bag 'o bits retro PC, or used for rare parts.
