Used / Broken Motherboards

oo7 · 2020-06-08 12:16:39

Hi, Can any recommend a place where you can buy a lot of old 'used / broken' motherboards, in Ireland? I need them for an art project, so they do not need to work, thanks.

Just an idea... Camara is a charity in Ireland where they accept second hand computers, repurpose them and send them to Africa.

They might have a lot of waste ?

Although I imagine any processor of I.T. equipment probably has some arrangement with a recycler to recover metals and the like from the motherboards.

Wisetek in Cork would be the biggest eWaste folks nationally I think.
