2 Macintosh PowerPC's that I bought at a school auction
A PII 400 with monitor
Two Athlon XP Towers with monitors (19 and 22 inchers)
several old cards (video, sound, modem), that I let sit for too long, instead of selling them when tehy were worth something.
a 1.2 gig HD
Two empty mini tower cases.
More cables, cords, screws, and anti static bags than I can count.

some of the stuff I need for part swap trouble shooting.
That's why you need to locate a computer parts dealer who doesn't charge restocking fees. Once you locate one, you've found a source for your part-swap troubleshooting - j/k. :)

Now, I'm being serious: Dude, you need to get unload some of that junk. It's depreciating even more as I type this. Quick, list it on Ebay and sell it!

I've got a box full of old COM/PS2/Parallel Port brackets from the AT motherboard era. Dunno why I'm holding on to them... it's been forever since I've built an AT system.

Yeah! I could be the computer hardware pimp! Wear chains with PCI card on them... make PC board earings for the ladies :).

Actually I need to move out so I am not allocated only one room for all my stuff... it's a good thing I don't have to keep my CD's in here! :Q

There's no furniture in your room either! In fact, from your pics I can only recall a carpet, white walls, a computer, a kitten, and a girlfriend. Folks there you have it. By ridding your room of everything and buying a kitten, you will get a girlfriend!

Just for Hzl.

Here are some pics of my room. I warn you, this is not for the faint of heart.

Firt, I have my computer rack. It currently holds 5 servers along with 100's of watrs for just about everything. If you look closely, you will see not only the 5 systems on the top self and the LCD for displaying the data, but you will find 4 mobo's ( 2 tyan Tiger's and 2 K7S5a's ) 18 AT keyboards, 2 extra system cases, a buncof Power supplies, some Drills, some surge suppressors, 7 floppy drives, 2 24 port switches, a bunch of bins which have ectra CPU's, fans, HSF's, a few lb's of computer screws, yada yada.

rack pic 1
rack pic 2
rack pic 3

Then we spin around to my workstation. If youwant to call it that. It is where I am sitting now :) We have lots and lots of caffene and alchool. And 4 computers. That siler briefcase is a computer too. See?

pic #1
pic #2 You can see my dinner!

Then we have the lazy side of me. Why the hell would I want to walk up a flight of stairs when I ahve to post something to AT? I want to do it now. In that respect, I have my downstaris work room. 2 more computers and one laptop.

downstairs

Oh crap, but what about when I am on the road and want to post something? What will I do then? Oh ya, I built a wireless setup for my truck so I can connect when I am out and about. Does right into my wireless etup in my room. I warn you, these pictures may blind you with my geekiness.

First we take My truck and add an aerial. What is an aerial you ask? This is an aerial And Here is another pic of it. the signal then goes into the cab to My Lanbox which then lights up the pretty 14.1" LCD. Is driving and surfing legal?

I left out some things, like my 400lb toolboxes full of computer tools and parts, but hey, it's ok.

LOL... I don't care, I'm all for more storage space, even if it brings back bad childhood memories for someone.. :p

Let's just hope it doesn't collapse on your computers.
