    Just hit a nice little find!!

    So after almost a month of very very non productive days, while dealing what is likely depression (but thats another story). I decided to combine some of my e-scrap boxes and, clean some copper and aluminum and get somethings ready for my run next friday!

    well I cleaned some made a huge mess in my living room and had no choice but to clean the house =-/



    Long story short I take out the trash open the dumpster and there it is a tower, looked mostly stripped but it was on top I figued I will throw it on my steel pile.

    NICE it still had the boards in it, and the chip! then I pulled more and more, a total of like 3 boxes! here is what I ended up with at the end

    4 power supplies
    3 cd drives
    2dvd drives
    2 desk top mother boards
    1 lap top board
    1 lap top hard drive
    2 lap top batteries
    3 intell p3 chips
    about 40lbs of mixed steel
    about 3 lbs of mixed wire
    and a couple copper and aluminum heat sinks!
    **edit* and a sony clie palm
    gotta say Im glad I made some room today!
