Office clear out - monitor and desktop pc available

#1

Hey Everyone

My work has a bit of an office renovation - I have at least 1 monitor and 1 desktop pc (specs to be leant later - think whatever an office might buy 5 years ago) for cannibalisation or other use.

If it is a VGA monitor, we need one for the upcoming CCTV system at the Space.

I think the Workstaion that does the tags (by the kitchen) needs a new screen too if you have a spare

I think that’s already covered

Sorry this took so long - there was some hoops to jump through.

So yeah we have one I think "15 vga screen + cable and what looks like at first glance an Dell OptiPlex - maybe 790 tower - basic 250GB HDD and intel and windows and stuff going free.

If anyone has any use for this let me know - I can bring it down to the space today after work.

Yes, we need the VGA monitor and cable for CCTV display, but not the other stuff. The monitor can go on “my” shelf in the snug next to the box labelled CCTV.

and mote it be.

Sorry, don’t understand.

I’m just funning it up on a Friday - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_mote_it_be

I will bring it after work.

Ahhh… I learn some new neopaganism every day…:thinking:

Just need to confirm that we actually need a monitor for this? CCTV is likely to be very rarely accessed…can we not just plug a screen in when needed? Seems hard to justify room for a screen

I suppose not really. I planned to mount it on the wall somewhere near the door. Partly as “deterrent value” so passersby see it and think if they try to break in later they will be on candid camera. People can wander in and case the joint, especially in summer when the door is blocked open. I did not mean to take desk space for it.

Speaking of which, we need a video (not IP) camera. Do you know anything about these? External, waterproof seem cheap on eBay but I know nothing about them.

Alrighty - I’ll hold off for now unless anyone else puts up their hand.

You don’t want to show thieves camera coverage. Makes it even easier to avoid, And to be fair I doubt they care anyway. Cost cutter has pretty damn good cctv and screens visible and I’ve seen the staff chase shoplifters up the street. So brazen.

I may be interested in the pc after the carousel was dumped on my laptop during the spring clean…! Currently trying to work with a 2002 windows xp so it’s sure to be a step up…!

#17

Sure
