Post up your good deals/finds/freebies here
Friends mom got an updated computer and her mouse doesn't work with Vista and asked if I wanted it. So I grabbed it and ran in compatibility mode for XP sp2. Now I have a like new wireless Logitech MX700 for free.
What have you found/got?

I have this feeling that there's already a thread for this, but I can't find it so maybe I'm thinking of another forum.

I just got back home from running errands and at the recycling center in a box there was this printer. It's a L7650 HP All-In-One. There was a paper jam with paper hidden way back and the user probably didn't see it. I got it to print a magenta page. It's sitting behind me doing some kinda test. Will report later with more.
*EDIT*
Yup. It works. That little piece of paper:

That was the problem. After that the printer ran tests and configured itself and then I was able to print off several different diagnostic & log prints. At first I thought this printer might have been donated or bought for the recycling center (It was left outside early in the morning before the facility was open) but it obviously had issues and was purchased in 2008 so I don't feel bad about picking it up. All in all, I got a professional printer, copier, scanner with almost full internal ink and brand new ink in a separate package:

That is an expensive printer...I know my mom bought one.
-
I think I'm going to sell it. I'd enjoy the money a lot more, besides, I already have an older HP AIO that just needs ink. I don't need anything this fancy. This SOB weighs like 50 pounds too.

Grabbed this nifty surge protector/suppressor from a dumpster out side a newly defunct business.

BTW Nate, when that printer was new (2008 or so) it cost 500$ with out ink.

That's a pretty nice surge protector. That would allow you to completely kill power to your monitors whilst leaving your computer on. What happened to your USB hub? :( I also fixed your images.
Yea, I saw the age of the printer. I never saw an original price though, just current refurbished ones going for $300 or so right now. I'd probably be lucky if I got $150 on Craigslist for it, especially around here. I plan on using it a bit before selling though.
-
Yeah new it was 500$ my mom bought one when they where new :)
I moved my stuff around and I haven't figured out where I want my usb hub. The surge protector is really nice I love it. Also having my monitor up higher is great cause I don't hunch as much at my desk. Thanks for fixing them :)
