Found Computer Parts in the Trash?
So, has anyone gone dumpster diving and found some nice computer parts? Whats the best you’ve found.
I know people are going to bring "holier than thou" attitudes to this question, but realize that I’ve built two complete computers only from found parts.
Best I came across was two xeon 2.4 ghz CPUs

Never found any computer parts, but I did find a dead hooker. She was fun until the rigor-mortis set in.
Seriously, who cares where you found the parts. Also, did you find the software in the dumpster or did you pirate it?
