Did you ever wonder what happens to all that government equipment that is purchased each year by federal adidas gazelle udsalg , state, and local governments? They don't just throw it away! By law, all unused and out-dated equipment must be sold back to the public at a public auction! That's right. Everything is available to you and I the American taxpayer. There are primarily two ways that the government does this: on- site auctions or online auctions.


At an on-site auction, the government agency disposing of the property must usually post a public notice about the auction such as the location www.adisneakersudsalg.com , date, time, and items to be auctioned off. There is usually an inspection period, especially if there are high-priced items that are to be auctioned off. Bidding is usually open to anyone adidas sko udsalg danmark , but you generally must pre-register on-site at the auction to bid. On site auctions may include items like used vehicles, boats, aircraft, computer equipment and military surplus. Some of the items are new adidas sko dame udsalg , most are used, and a small percentage of it is junk.


Online Auctions are available to anyone with an internet connection and can be found on various website. The federal government typically uses the GSA auction site at The military uses . State and local governments may have their own websites. You may need to call your local government agency to find out how they handle surplus property.


The fun part is actually bidding and winning items. You can easily purchase things at 80%-90% off of retail! I personally purchased a color laser printer at 10% of it's value! Granted, I needed to drive 3 hours to pick it up and I needed to clean it once I got it home, but it works flawlessly.


The business part of the equation is in purchasing large lots of equipment. I personally buy and sell large quantities of computer and office equipment. You can purchase computer and monitors by the skid load! I resell to friends and neighbors who get a good deal as well. I can sell them equipment 50% off of retail and still double my money! The local government auctions usually have the best deals as there are typically fewer bidders competing against you. I purchased $12 adidas sko udsalg ,000 worth of computer equipment for $65! I also picked up a conference table and beautiful retro conference chairs!


Remember though, to bid with your head and not above it. Research carefully what you are interested in and what it would bring in resale. Set a firm price in your mind and don't go over that price. Don't ever get caught up in the heat of the moment when the bidding starts going crazy! Take a step back and re-evaluate before you pay more for something than you wanted to.


PCs in Industry - Protecting Your Hardware Computers Articles | May 28, 2008

This article explores the best way of protecting computer equipment in factories, warehouses and other unstable environments.



Not everybody is fortunate to work in an air-conditioned office adidas zx 700 dame udsalg , many of us have to endure warehouses and factory floors which can be dusty and grimy; often baking in the summer and freezing during the winter and full of potential hazards.


Of course our employers are at liberty to keep us protected. Overalls are provided to keep our clothes clean, jackets to keep us warm while hard hats and toe protection is now a legal requirement in many workplaces.


Obviously employees are a company?s greatest asset and only a fool or bad businessman would neglect the welfare of their staff. Yet with many more tasks and processes being automated, more and more computers are being utilized in these sorts of environments.


Of course IT and technological systems can be a great asset, reducing production times and increasing productivity adidas zx 700 udsalg , but computer hardware can also be a substantial investment ? especially if they have to keep being repaired or replaced due to the nature of the environment they are situated


Computers are fragile pieces of technology, designed to work at optimum conditions and temperatures the opposite of the conditions in most warehouse, factories and production plants.


Dust can clog the keyboard and mouse making them unusable, whilst also blocking filters and clogging up the PC and causing it to overheat and often short circuit. Whilst the cold can freeze circuits destroying processors and data stored on drives while the heat can be even worse as it can actually melt the processors and sensitive hard drive.


Even if your warehouse has adequate heating and air-conditioning adidas zx 750 dame udsalg , knocks and bangs from fork lifts and pallet trucks could easily wreck a machine whilst spilt fluids can cause instant short circuits and even fires!


Fortunately, there are plenty of solutions available. Specialist industrial PCs are available but can be very expensive, particularly if you regularly upgrade your IT and have to replace them but cheaper alternatives in the form of dust covers and water and dustproof keyboards.


However, by far the best way of ensuring trouble free computing even in extreme conditions such as freezers and ovens adidas zx 750 udsalg , is to use specially designed industrial PC enclosures. These are often air sealed and completely water and dust proof and can often contain heaters or air conditioners to assist in temperature control. They also have the benefit of being able to house conventional PCs so there is need to keep buying specialist equipment.


Made from durable metals including food grade stainless steel, a decent enclosure should be able to withstand even the most ineffectual forklift driver, some are even bombproof! Many companies opt to store their IT in these enclosures even when the working environments are not particularly hostile.
