Default Real geeks never chuck anything away

TWENTY YEAR OLD POWER SUPPLIES. You just can't have enough of them, can you? You simply can't tell when you might need one. The same goes for VESA graphics cards, antique ISA SoundBlasters, serial mice and knackered 14 inch CRTs. Don't even mention cables. Show me someone who's been around IT for a few years and they'll have boxes full of the things. After a decade or so, the spare room simply isn't big enough and the junk spills out into the garage.

Haha nice piece

I'm a geek; oldest gear I currently have is a working AT case with Pentium 1 200MMX inside; I gave away my first 486DX2/66 to people who could use it better than just picking up dust

hehe, I'm a geek too , but I'm trying to throw things away from time to time .
Oldest piece I have is an 8Mhz 286 with a dead hdd (and I can't replace it because it isn't an ATA disk ). But don't think I'm going to throw it away

I threw away all of them two months ago; nobody wants them and they have become hazardous materials requiring permit to dispose

I hope I'm going to move house pretty soon, that way I can install a filter for what goes into the new place and what doesn't

Definilty sounds familiar (4* CDroms anyone, got a couple to spare I think)
