Hello to everybody and Happy New Year. It's been over two months since I was last on the forum. Last ten weeks have been a challenge. Installing a new commercial complex landscape and the irrigation/drain systems are "new stuff". As with anything new, there's a learning curve and we are making the mistakes to match the "curve". I owe a couple members some PM's and apologies. I truly appreciate all the private advice I received on the gold refining. I will get back with you when I can (very soon) and didn't mean to leave anyones inquires unanswered. Just had a lot of my money going everywhere but where I want it to go! I still have sold no E-waste scrap, just keep processing and learning. Have decided to quit trying to locate a buyer in California and sell the premium stuff to members of the forum buyers. Honestly it's a no brainer where the best boards will go. The refiners will also be forum members, no surprise to most of you already but there are some really smart members!
Now for what this post is about, had a chance to look at some boxes yesterday. Found a couple of things that are new to me. I'm sure not for a lot of you, electronics I'm pretty good with and computers I'm not. The Seagate ST-1102A hard drive look a lot different then most. I have more than two dozen I previously pulled to compare to. This is narrow, shorter and in a double stack configuration. What really got my attention! is the "shine" in those gold pin on the back (bling bling). Went to Ebay after finding I had nothing like it. First two listings start out with "vintage" and I learned MFG. date 1989. The other item maybe somebody is more familiar than me. The Shuttle X, is it a computer? Last Item the MSI PM8M3-V H motherboard. This mother is brand new never used, until this one they always came in a computer. This one was still wrapped in new anti-static bags. The disappointment, no CPU INSTALLED! Didn't realize brand new mothers came without the CPU. Just got a sticker that states: Improper CPU installation might cause damage to your socket (MIGHT?). Don't think the mother is anything special, as the board is a bright red (tells me China). As always look forward to everyone thoughts. Will do some pictures tonight, it's time to go to my "better than scrap gig".
