<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Hi Joseph,<br>
If you are still looking, colleges are probably one of the best
bet places that would be getting rid of things. When I was a
student at Hampshire College, there were constantly old
electronics being recycled. Of course, it is a bit harder if you
are doing remote learning and there are few people actually on
campus given the pandemic, but in terms of local resources, the IT
department at colleges (Five Colleges and STCC) is still probably
your best bet. I am not sure your use case, but if it is on the
software end, really you can use any computer or virtual machine
as a server. I develop all my web apps using a <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://www.vagrantup.com/">Vagrant</a>/<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://www.virtualbox.org/">VirtualBox</a>/<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://www.docker.com/">Docker</a>/<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://code.visualstudio.com/">Visual
Studio Code</a> local environment before I release them. It
takes a day or a few days to set up everything the first time but
once you do, it saves a lot of time when you need to work on
something new, because you can just copy all the config files from
your last project and start a new virtual environment in minutes.
Of course, if your doing something with hardware, that won't work.
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi folks,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am an undergrad college student majoring in Computer
Engineering. I am looking for any server options that I can
use from home. I did not know if anyone out there had a setup
that they are currently looking to donate. From what I
understand, companies have to upgrade their server equipment
every few years, and sometimes you can get lucky. <br>
<br>
Having a server setup could help me do an add-on honor course
at my current college and work on projects that I want to
research while forced to work remotely all online. <br>
<br>
If anyone out there can help me, my contact information is <a

Sincerely,<br>
