Shame scrapperben's pics aren't still up. That dude has a saaaweeet set up.
I've been itching to get a little better organized. Well, last week I won four rolling media carts from a school district across town, and went & got them today. There were some misc electronics, a couple laptops, some LCD projectors, to sweeten the deal, but what I really wanted was the carts.
So I took the space I was already using on the garage floor with my disorganized, stacked, falling over jumble of buckets & bins... and made it ORGANIZED!
Steel scrap all the way to the right... can't really see it, but it's not important.
First cart as you walk in is the copper-based scrap. Brass, copper, transformers, insulated wire, motors, and then lowgrade boards just cuz they fit there.
Cart #2 is white metals; sheet, cast, & brick aluminum up top (note the consideration of weight ... lighter up top, heavier down low... sharp, huh!
) Then stainless, diecast zinc, misc white like any odd nickel, monel, etc, and a coffee can for lead wheelweights. Spare buckets & you can't see them in this lighting but lead acid batteries down on the bottom shelf.
And the
ewaste. Cart #3 has mobos & fingerboards up top, with a little bin for rams in front. A wire that shouldn't be there but I'm too lazy to go move it & take another pic. Lion batts, <100GB harddrives, cellphones and midgrade boards round it out.
Cart #4 has power supplies, intact laptops, and parts I'm going to sell or trade: >100GB HDs, brand-new-in-the-staticwrap mobo, etc. Then nicad batteries, NiMH batteries, CD/DVD drives, fans, and floppy drives.
The eproms, pins, gold & silver mylar, CPUs, and anything else I deem high value stay in my office inside the house.
So there's the tour. Tip your waitress and have a safe trip home.
