I wish... I figure I could condense my chips. Instead of scattered all over the house I could put all into one cabinet. Sell of all the extra's and scrap "ugly" chips. Tempted to open an eBay store and call it "Saved from Scrap" 
There will be a few more over the next couple of weeks. Then we have to wait until the snow melts before I can go harvest more.

Yeeez...nice crops! but it looks like a lifetime of work.
I'd be happy to help you harvest some of those rows of PC's in return for some of the harvest.. "Have screwdriver, will travel"..lol

The winter climate helps keep the chips from rotting!
Plus those pesky "funnel-web" spiders don't hang out here.

That was part of my back porch. More behind the house, in the garage and in the storage shed.
Some mornings I get ready to leave and there's a computer or two on my front stoop. Local people have started an annoying trend of
dropping off their unwanted PC's and equipment at my house in the middle of the night.

Don't all hardcore computer enthusiasts keep their computers outside in the winter? Someone told me it makes them go faster.
Anyway, that's quite a nice collection of beige boxes. The beige has a sort of calming effect on me - blingy boxes make my blood pressure go up.
Also, remind me not to ask tlccomp for a spare AT power supply. Snow + PSU = Ay Carumba!!! |

Wow, I wish that would happen to me! Free computers and you don't even have to go get them!

Just hope you wash your hands and wear a mask when you break all that shit down.
You'll probably get some kind of dick wasting disease or other unsavoury illnesses. Having to explain to your wife why she needs to take a trip down to the clinic is not worth an ES. |
