The idea of this chart is to determine is a system is so low end we are not interested in mining it for parts. In general this job should be done by trained system evaluation instructors and staff.
- RED LIGHT COMPUTERS
- systems are not worth mining. There parts are not worth keeping. We will just destroy the drive and send them to recycling for deconstruction.
- GREEN LIGHT LIGHT COMPUTERS
- systems are potentially worth keeping because they will likely get reused. We will mine them lightly to test their components.
- YELLOW LIGHT LIGHT COMPUTERS
- systems are in between. We will mine them for components, but we will not reuse the system as a whole.
There will be two carts, one for GREEN LIGHT systems (bound for storage), and one for YELLOW LIGHT and RED LIGHT systems, bound for recycling.
Non-upgradeable
Systems that are typically not upgraded are:
- Compaq
- White or beige Dell (black Dells are OK)
- eMachine
- Gateway
- HP
- Micron
- Packard Bell
- IBM PS/1 model
- IBM PS/2 model
Since these systems are seldom upgraded, markings on the outside usually indicate what is actually in the computer.
