What to do with 6 laptops?

[Urist]

I struck gold at an auction. 6 "broken" thinkpads, turns out they had faulty chargers. I could sell them, but i`ve never had this amount of computing power at my disposal before. Is mining an option? Any ideas for projects would be appreciated.

I could do this, but I lack 4 cellphones and a satellite dish.

Please sell them while can.

Mining isn't really profitable. Even with application-specific hardware, you'll spend more on electricity than you'll get in crypto-currency. With normal laptops it'll be even worse.

If you were feeling generous you could donate them to a school's computer lab or something.

You could also try and experiment with MPI applications if you're into coding HPC, though on six laptops it would only be useful as a test bench and it wouldn't actually be super powerful. Once your algorithms are ready you could then proceed to more advanced supercomputers.

@OP - I am interested in increasing my computing power, but I don't open videos for sanity. Please post model numbers, I can find a charger, no problem. Are you based in JHB?

Bunch of Lenovo t440p's, an a 2nd gen carbon X1. Picked them up at an auction for R2000. Not sure what they're worth some have broken keyboards and missing batteries. Keeping the Carbon for now, fell in love with it.

You can take the one with the broken keyboard or missing battery, your choice. I called dibs on the nice one.

Go look in that banter thread. My laptop is dead at the moment. I either need a DDR3L SODIMM or if the OP is flogging at a decent enough asking price, I'll grab one

Give them back to Solly. Might help his brother's plea...
