Scored Big today thanks to dumpsters
Scored Big today thanks to dumpsters
So round here 50% of housing are rentals. University goes out people move out. so I scored a socket 754 computer everything works to my knowledge besides the mobo. I also scored a microsoft optical mouse and keyboard both wireless that use a single reciever. just need a psu for the computer and a new mobo which a friend has. I also got a bunch of case fans and other parts misc parts. the case had a 250gb hd that is sata 1 along with a geforce fx 5900 xt. so I'm in heaven even if they aren't top of the line. I do love my amd 64 processors. I'm going to get it working and give it a new home with a friend.

I've done my share of dumpster diving for computer parts.
There are some really neat deals to find at times.
My son just garbaged picked a socket-370 1.0Ghz HP Vectra this past week with two 20Gb HDDs and a 52x CD-RW. So, out with the IBM Aptiva AMD 500Mhz Chomper OC'ed to 525Mhz.
Of course it's not the great find you had found, but he did get a complete system along with the Windows CD and such.
