The '''computer graveyard''' is a [[recycling]] area used by [[CUIT]] to dispose of broken and/or old computers, monitors, [[printers]], and various other computer components. An electronics recycling service comes regularly to clear it out.

== Location ==

The graveyard can be found below the [[Marcellus Hartley Dodge Physical Fitness Center|Dodge Fitness Center]] and can be found by continuing downward on the stairway connecting Dodge to campus level. Continue through [[The Grove|the Grove]] tunnel towards [[Amsterdam Avenue]] and the computer parts are located in large cardboard bins on the right, just past the old power plant entrance.

== Taking Stuff ==

Anyone's allowed to grab whatever they want, since the items are being thrown away. Useful if you want to grab a few crappy computers and build a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cluster cluster].

== What's Good ==

*Monitors - said to be usually broken
*Motherboards - said to be often functional, just old
*CPUs - said to be often functional, just old
*RAM - very functional, but often old
*Hard Drives - also very functional, usually SATA, usually ~60GB
*Other stuff - ???

== Spookiness ==

There have been many sightings of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS/360 IBM OS/360], which according to legend wanders the graveyard during the night, looking for souls to which it can add complicated and unnecessary features.

There is also a copy of the E.T. video game for Atari somewhere in there. Probably.
