With the advent of more
powerful processors by the minute, cheaper
RAM, and
hard drives, many
computers end up in the trash. If you are a
grubby trash loving low-tech
geek, this is a wonderful way to
increase your
supply of
useless hardware.
If you live in a
college town, I recommend checking the
dumpsters behind the dorms as the
students are leaving.
My best take so far: A fully functional 486 laptop, fully loaded (for 1992).
