    I have a scrapping partner now.

    So I came home from work about 3 weeks ago and saw that someone had been working in the garage while I was gone. There were screws everywhere, a stack of circuit boards on my table and the box where I put my plastic was full.
    I go inside and talk to my Wife and she tells me she been taking phones apart. She tells me it's very therapeutic. I agreed.
    After going through several hundred phones she started on the pile of power supplies from the telephone systems we have.
    I pulled a motherboard out of a PC a few weeks ago that had a pentium pro in it and I told her I was going to hang it on the wall in our bedroom. That didn't go over well but look what was hanging on the wall Friday when I got home.
    She's awesome!

    That's a great idea, and a great wife. I would hang it 1" farther to the left OCD

    Ok, how's that. I moved the bottom left corner 1" to the left. And I left the closet door open too.

    LOL!

    looks good no matter how you hang it.
    I still haven't found one yet... I thought of hanging some cpu's on display, but never thought to leave it in the board.

    You are a lucky man, most partnerships don't work out but it looks like yours has worked for 25 years.

    Drill a hole in the MB and mount a quarts clock movement to it. I did this and gave it to my girlfriends son and he loves it.
