Still fairly new to the group here so if this a dumb question…
I have some computer equipment that I don’t need anymore and would like to donate to the computer lab, is it okay to just drop it off or do I need to go through someone first before I just hand it over?
Thanks
Donations need approval from the area lead, in this case @james.a.seymour (ERP) or @jameslancaster (IT) and in most cases to go through Inventory @Ben.rogers (Inventory is primarily concerned when item values equal or exceed $50)
This is because we need to try to stay organized and as Makers we tend to want to hoard all kinds of potentially useful items, so someone has to stem the tide or we run out of room!
Donation policies are on the Wiki at Donations - MakeICT Wiki
Awesome, @james.a.seymour @jameslancaster @Ben.rogers
I have two computer monitors a 15" and a 17" that could be useful for extras in the computer lab. Who sets the value of these because I don’t care about the tax write off for them.
I also have a half height server cabinet that might be useful to keep server and networking equipment contained in one area. I got it for free and am willing to just hand it over if you guys are needing it.
if not I know a 14 year old that wanted me to drive him to KC for one that was $25. @Tobias778
In case it matters to those who care, LCD? Or CRT?
This is all landcaster.

LCD, I got rid of all my CRTs a long long time ago.
If the donation is accepted, MakeICT will give you a receipt, but you will have to set the value.
If makeict doesn’t take it, I’ve been needing a server rack for a while. How many units is it?
A normal rack is 42U, this is a half height some I am assuming 21U. And you would be second in line, since Malissa has already kind of vouched for it.
Tobias is who Malissa wanted it for (her son), so it works out perfectly!
Cool! When do you think i could pick it up?
@Tobias778 @Malissa Since it is a fairly bulky item, would you prefer to meet up at where I have it stored so that we can cut out the middle? We can arrange through email a good time to for you to pick up if you like.
That was quick work! And looks more professional than some of the stuff I have seen in the field!
He didn’t like that he wasn’t finished. So I took another pic. The red box is a fire wall, he hasn’t been able to get it to work yet . That’s his goal for tomorrow. The server was password protected, he found a workaround to get in the system and change the password, but the full server isn’t functioning.
How is that going to stop a fire? It barely covers any of the front! 
JK, looks much cleaner than any of the stuff I do.
This might help with the firewall: About Factory-Default Settings

Thanks, @mikeb I probably will not see him all weekend. I was getting text when he was in coding today his classmates helped him find some other part he wanted on ebay. A year ago he was playing with Raspberry Pi.
