digging up some hidden gems at my local e-waste center where I saw tons of abandoned HDDs, cpus, GPUs, and retro computers! couldn't help myself picking up some old tech, excited to show you what I got 😎 #pc #pctips #pcbuilding #mryeester

It shouldn't be called e-waste cuz most of the stuff here is treasure

@HardWhereHero 6 ай бұрын

We feel the same way. I have made a business out of traveling the us and checking goodwill's and e-waste shops for little treasures. I just found a orange NZXT apollo with a i7 4790k, a pny FOUNDER EDITION 980 in the box unopened, and a gtx 1070 ti, handfuls of intel CPUs all in the goodwill "processing" bin. I made an offer before they set it out on the floor and rescued it all for under $100, it takes the burden of them testing them off their hands and they don't mind and I don't either. You got to be smart and check it because I have done this before and walked away with a bin full of motherboards that all had their bios chips plucked. That was an expensive but worthwhile adventure. The 1070 needs a new fan but I have one on the way.

By the way the very last computer he was looking at at the very end with the rotating circle is a touchscreen! It uses infrared sensors to make a grid and determan where your finger is. Because it’s lasers, anything can trigger the touchscreen, just by touching or interrupting the lasers. Cool, right?

I clearly think theres a lot of working pc's over there, And with a decent maintenance, you can find yourself a lot of well running laptops. And don't think they are cheap versions, because workers need biometric systems to not spend waste time to remember their passwords, nearly 99% of them have working biometric sensors on them with full donated versions like cd rom and other hardware added.
