Sorry about starting to ramble towards the end, I am passionate about vintage computers, and love helping new people get into the hobby. I just wanted to stress how little money you need to get into this hobby, and how important it was to save EVERYTHING!
Stay tuned for the most DISGUSTING Lenovo you will probably ever see.

New subscriber here. Great content. I really like your casual style of relating the information that you find important. I think you could easy flip these builds because Retro gaming is making a huge comeback. Just put your Windows OS then add a system like eXoDOS version 6 which has a ton of games included. Those beige PC cases are really cool when they are in great shape.

@@gregghernandez2714 honestly I probably should, but I always feel like they're not quite done. Then again, I've got like 30 computers in my office, so maybe I should do a video where I try my hand at preparing one of these systems to sell, and seeing how much I get for it

so what does a person actually do with these parts after they find them? rent is very expensive these days, how can we justify these old parts just sitting around

Very valid, and very relatable. My second bedroom is floor to ceiling parts. Realistically, it's the cases that are the largest space hog, followed by power supplies and optical drives. Ram, CPUs, and add-in cards are the easiest to store. Hard drives are not too bad, but those do tend to get heavy when you have as many as I do. As for the "just sitting around" part, well, it really comes down to how you look at the whole concept of vintage computers. If you are in it to play with them, having spare parts on hand is very useful. If you are in it for a profit, well, saving them for when prices go up (as we are seeing with PIII and P4 systems now) can also be a big incentive. Mostly though, it's about preservation. If you don't have enough space to KEEP the random systems you find in the trash or on facebook marketplace for $5, you can always re-home them to someone who does have the space, usually for a small profit as well There are a finite amount of these old parts, and the more we can save for future generations, the better. Very good question!

It's a button that says "you are too close" in extremely small print, in order for people to read it they have to get too close lol

I'm actually going to be redoing this video and cutting it down to probably 5 or 10 minutes, I rambled way too much.
