    Why I love my thrift store..

    So..was down breaking some stuff down bit ago, an came across some stuff I had forgotten about I picked up from my favorite thrift store account last week. In the pile was two old direct tv boxes, a modem/router, a freaking bad ass gaming keyboard that I wish still worked so I could jack it for my own gaming uses, oh an a old web tv box.



    So I decided to bust open the router/modem real quick before coming back up from the shop, an lo an behold..this is what I pulled from it..

    This is the modem/router..silly little sucker even came with a GPS..LOL. There is a lovely gold trim around the border, an around the chip/processors in the middle, an again on the border on the backside.

    Yes, it's gold, my camera just sucks as does the lighting upstairs in my office. I really need a better camera..LOL.

    An I don't know whats going with these pics an why they are so large..sorry Bear.

    Edit - So just popped open the little black gps, on the inside was a board, with some kinda weird chip on the back, gold plated connectors, an thats about it. Will try an grab a pic of it tomorrow, case anyone is curious on what they look like on the inside. Oh an it had a small border of gold on the board..very small.

    Sirscrapalot - Doing the happy gold dance all the way to his OMG ITS GOLD™ bucket.
