I need to rehome a garage full of retro junk and try to save it from being scrapped. Anyone near seattle need pc parts? Indigo workstation? Sun rackmount machines? Agp video cards? Isa ide cards? Send me your shopping list and I'll see what I can save.

More stuff I know we've got: Wyse serial terminal. 2 g4 powermacs. A g3 beige tower. CRT monitors. AT keyboards. Serial mice. Probably some bus mice. Many old laptops from 8086 to pentium4 (and I'm keeping my eye open for the power supplies).

@meowski @silverhax it'll cost more to extract than what the gold will fetch tbh

@hakui @silverhax not sure about that, if you shear off all gold fingers from cards and just grind those with cpus into a powder, then dissolve it, i think with that quantity you could make a little profit. just a guess though. maybe you're right. there is a minimum batch size to be profitable

Thanks for the boosts. I'm really happy the right people are seeing this. None of these systems are complete and suitable to play with. My friend was a tech (I mean this lovingly) "collector" and I'm trying to find other people that need the parts he saved to keep his lab running.I'm not looking for money. I think going through this stuff is fun and I'm happy to see it used instead of scrapped. My old friend's wife just wants it gone, but probably wouldn't mind a thank you.#rayhadcoolstuff

Sorted a bunch of cards today. Found two soundblasters, two 3dfx cards, a busmouse card, and a lot of 8 bit modems. Looking for homes for these!
