<div>I wonder if it could be put I need the foyer of the space or maybe the place directly under us, even if a little rent for electricity would be required, u think it could be a tidy little income as it would be accessible to the public (assuming we can sell
to public).</div>

<div dir="ltr">These type of machines do regularly sell in the £500 range, even non-working ones. The listing is for 15 days, I'll leave it a week or so and then maybe make an offer for around £100. Dunno, like you said there's no rush. :)
<div>I thought that fridge-as-pc-case idea turned out to terrible in practice? Because they're not usually designed to dissipate a constant heat source. I might be wrong, would be very interested what kind of temps they got.</div>

We aren't in any hurry - it's too heavy to ship and probably nobody else<br>
in Swansea will want it. Why not wait until after it doesn't sell and<br>
offer to pick it up for free when he's bored of trying to sell it and has<br>
to pay someone to dispose of it ?<br>
<br>
Some years ago in North Carolina btw I actually met someone who had<br>
converted an old fridge into his machine cabinet by boring a hole in the<br>
side and running a pipe through it for the network and power cables, plus<br>
some other mods to handle condensation 8)<br>
