Rochester Hills Public Library Computer Sale

What happens when the Rochester Hills Public Library upgrades computers and other electronics?

A big public sale of the ones they no longer need. 

The library will host a public sale for electronic equipment and an assortment of other hardware from around the library on April 1 and 2 (next Monday and Tuesday) from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. The sale will be held in the library's multipurpose room.

“As we update equipment to handle an ever growing computer demand we find we have equipment that will function well for home use, but can’t provide the heavier computing needed by the library,” said library director Christine Hage.

Here's what's for sale.

Desktop PCs or laptops:

• 13 - HP dc 5100 Pent 4's assorted ram amounts


• 20 - HP dc 5700 Pent D's assorted ram amounts


• 23 - HP dc 5800 Core 2's assorted ram amounts


• 1 - HP 4300


• 2 - HP mini 5102


• 1 - HP 2140


• 1 - Dell dimension 4100


• 1 - Dell Latitude d505


• 1 - IBM g40

Networking equipment:

• 5 - Cisco AP 1242AG


• 1 - Cisco 3600


• 2 - Cisco Catalyst 2900

Servers:

• 2 - HP Proliant DL360


• 2 - HP Proliant DL380


• 1 - Dell Power edge 2600


• 1 - Dell Power edge 2800

Printers:

• 2 - HP laserjet 4000n


• 1 - HP laserjet 1022n


• 2 - Lexmark e240n

“I realize the list sound pretty technical, but basically this is a good opportunity for students to get their own computers for homework for about $50,” said Hage.

A keyboard and mouse will be included with each desktop. All of the computers have been wiped clean so buyers will have to install their own
operating system and software. There will also be an assortment of other electronic equipment including scanners, cabling and a few shelving units. All equipment will be sold as is.

“Knowledgeable staff members will be on location to answer questions,” said Derek Brown, director of IT at the Library.
