Just discovered that my school has a web site that sells surplus equipment. Some items can be bought outright and some you must place a bid for. some of the deals I came across here are absolutely amazing so I felt the need to share this.

Some interesting items:
600 btu air conditioner for $50 (http://surplus.ucsd.edu/Lot.aspx?id=33647)
14w argon gas laser for $4000 (http://surplus.ucsd.edu/Lot.aspx?id=29951)

and to put its power into perspective a bit, I believe a 3W laser will burn wood. 14w should be more than enough to melt that annoying car across the street that keeps having the alarm go off in the middle of the night.

Argon Gas Laser hmm what could i do with that i better not think nothnig good could come from it lol

think of the cooling you could make with that Freezer CPU temp of -150 lol

Argon Gas Laser :)
Theres an idea for that "how to destroy a Hard Drive" post.
Have the laser turn on and move radially across the plattters. Melt/destroy them.

I can probably go there and take a look at the stuff before buying it. It needs to be picked up anyways so if you can't get down to look at it, you can't get it anyways.

UCI in particular (http://www.mrm.uci.edu/salvage.html)

Doesn't look like they have anything good at uci. Some of the UCSD things are worth the 70 mile drive man.

I just looked over the offerings at UC Davis here in N Ca. They have lots of computers and tons of monitors. I saw a listings for 37' crt monitor --- 125.00
Copper Vapor Laser ---30,000.00
Freezer -89* C ---125.00
desks --25.00
office chairs ----10.00

Some pretty good deals listed. I think I might take a little drive tomorrow.

Thanks Krusty
