 Ensure hardware is still functional. Definition of functional is to be decided, but maybe check that the BIOS gets past the POST stage and can boot a live CD or something?
+: Booting to live CD sounds like an acceptable metric, depending on how we are wiping the drives that could be combined with that. [[User:Robert|Robert]] 08:57, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 Cleaning up dust with canned air and/or a vacuum would be good too. Do we have an anti static work mat?
+: Don't think we do, but would plugging them in to the mains suffice? [[User:Robert|Robert]] 08:57, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 Harddrives and other effects are to be wiped/cleaned to an agreed level of acceptability.
 Any hardware which does not work can be chucked for now to help minimize on the space occupied. In the future, maybe assemble working machines out of several broken ones (this is optional, but is likely to increase resale value).
+: How can we do both of these?
+: Could leave broken ones until Sunday evening, we might have spare time at the end if we are efficient - but any broken ones should be disposed of after that point. [[User:Robert|Robert]] 08:57, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
