I've got tons o' crap. I should take pics of 'em sometime.
Old Opened Hard Drives (Mounted, those shiny platters really impress ;) ) old Sound Cards, broken Motherboards, a picture frame with the original Intel 8088 Chip, a Motorola (original MAC Lisa Chip) 68000, and CMOS Chip from one, and a few other chips in it.
And a bunch of other assorted goodies, it's broken anyway, so grab the screw gun, and put it up.
Hey it beats buying expensive paintings!
My buddy made a mirror of Coasters in his bathroom. Explains why his 'Close' Shaves aren't so close! :D

I did that once, but it all fell down. I'd been lazy and had taped it all up with rolled up scotch tape. :Q:D Silly me.

Doh! :p

It requires special tools to drill through the packaging of a CPU. That is, unless you don't mind wasting a couple of drills per CPU (plus a drilling time of multiple days) ;)

the original Intel chip was the 4004, the 8088 was much later.
