I got a 24 Port Ethernet Switch-- For free!
« on: August 28, 2012, 11:52:57 PM »
I do the trash at my school(Helps pay the expensive private school tuition). When I was walking down the hall to leave I heard a *BAM* in one of the trash cans.... I go back to investigate later.....and gues what I find?!? A 24 port ethernet switch. It is a D-Link rackmount(I think) network switch- Up to 100mb/s :D Nothing wrong with it either.......except it doesn't work. Upon closer expection when I took it apart it was only a blown capacitor. 10v 1000uF. Found two of them in an old power supply. On my way to get my brother to solder it. What will I use it for? Not sure. Maybe sell it. Or start having lan parties.


Anyways, just wanted to put this here so people know everyone is not having bad luck :P

When I read the name of the thread I thought that you are giving away a free switch! Misleading title.

Congratz on the find though :)

Therefore a crucial step to becoming a better programmer is learning how to avoid getting stuck, to recognize when you’re stuck, and to get unstuck." -Jeff Wofford
