So my wife went shopping and spent $20 on a "Mystery Box"

Well my wife went out to find some more stuff for us today. She wasn't that successful in getting computers or anything but one place did offer a Mystery Box?????

My wife said the guy told her it's been in the back room since he started. It was sealed with tape, was kind of heavy and didn't know what was in it. Well the box said Proc's on it and it was indeed heavy.

Here is the box she bought. She had to buy this w/o looking inside and just went with her gut.



So she gets the box home and forgets about it. During dinner she starts talking about it and we decide to throw it on the scale. 6.9 pounds. Not to bad. But im still thinking in my mind. Great she pait $20 for steel or something stupid.



Well we opened it up and look what we finds!!!






15 slot processors
7 gold caps
1 gold eprom
24 fiber and metal tops
1 apple processor
6 black fiber
10 green fiber
24 486/386 ceramics
4 AMD metal/ceramics
19 pentium ceramics

Thats to awesome. time to take her out to dinner.

Thank god you found it. I have been looking for it forever. I of course will repay you the $20. I was just the first one, you know the rest of you want it. You know from now on no matter what she buys she'll remind you of this day. Congrats, Mike.

Already done,

Just shy of $400

Everyone Focuses on the "Gold Tops' or Pentium Pros...I'll trade you P Pro's for 486/386 all day long!

Good freaking deal!!!

Droz, don't forget her on Mother's day coming up,,,I think she deserves a little extra_______. Fill in your own blank,,,lol

If you ever had enough processors, etc you could always get one of the guys on GRF to refine it for you, then get a jeweller to make a ring out of the recovered gold. A nice idea, but you would need to save those processors up!

With this most recent purchase i now have about 60 pounds of processors.

Yes i will also take 15 pentium pro computers over 15 486 processor computers any day.

15 pentium pro's = 3 pounds = $300

15 486's = 1 pound = $133

Wow! Now that's one smart wife you've got there dude! Woman's intuition, they used to tell me. Four hundred bills from 20 smackers. Hope you gave her @ least her 20 "smackers" back in smooches, or whatever. Thanx 4 sharing this cool story buddy! Cheers. lb
