Obsolete hardware junkyard

Every time I see the old devices at our local "waste management"...containers filled with laptops, computers...sound systems...most probably easily fixable...I feel so bad.

But my collection is big enough already. I also have a 486 laptop with a built in Soundblaster, that I have DOS 6.22 installed onto.

It was a blast to find MP3 players for DOS, or USBS tick support...or music players and photo display programs, that could be started before the system actually booted into DOS...and using all othe super-old SNES or PSX emulators...that run perfectly on this old system as well...ahh, ood old times.

 

I have a few decent sized piles of cables for pretty much everything, power, video, network, etc and I never need them. Except for those times that happens once in a while when I've decided to throw them away.

 

At one point I honestly had about 30 PS1s in my closet (down to 10), a huge box of Saturn parts (like 10 dead ones, I sold it to someone here a few years ago and regret it now), a dozen dead Dreamcasts and an absolute ton of Gensis that seemed like it was approaching triple digits at some points. I miss yard sailing and flea markets before Storage Wars crap. My girlfriend wanted to murder me.
