Re: most of us in a nutshell



Lemme see... how many old computers do I have that actually work?

- Dell Dimension 2400
- The Athlon 64 system
- The 1993 Gateway 2000 80486 System
- A Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 4
- Some whitebox Athlon XP system
- An IBM PS/2 Model 25
- A whitebox Pentium III/Intel 440 system
- HP Pavilion a1000y

Nonworking old computers:

- IBM PS/2 Model 55SX (Unknown fault, does not POST, needs a new Dallas clock module)
- Dell Optiplex GX1 (PS/2 controller unresponsive)
- Dell Dimension XPS something-or-another Pentium Pro workstation (Acquired for free as scrap in 2019, haven't had a chance to examine it yet and determine what's wrong, needs a CPU at the very minimum)
- And there's probably more of 'em squirreled away somewhere that I've forgotten about.

So that IS a lot of old computers.

Re: most of us in a nutshell

Haha, I love it!

Yeah, I did a quick count of how many "personal" desktop PCs I have (well, I consider all of my PCs as personal / non-sell-able / hobby / junk... because most of them are), as a preparation for my move, to calculate the rough volumetric space they'd take in the shipping can. I forgot the exact count already (LOL)... but it came out to a little over 50-ish desktops (ATX, mATX, and one or two SFFs). And if I was to find more cases to use up the stash of working/fixed old motherboards, I'd probably add another 10-20 to that count. Yeah ... that's a lot of old computers.

I also have a lot of old / junky PSUs... though not as many as this:

I will not take an inventory. That would force me to admit that I have a problem!!
