Yard Sale Free Pile!
Posted by: 30pin on 2008-09-19 20:50:57
I was at a yard sale and they had a free pile! I picked up A Quadra 605, apple design speakers(1993), 14" apple monitor, a cyrix 686 cpu sealed in original pakage and a USB PCI card sealed in box!!! Once home I fired up the Quadra 605. It had O.S. 7.1 a 160mb hard drive and 20mb of ram. I am hoping the USB card will go into my 6500. That free pile really made my day!!

I went to a garage sale last Sunday and scored some nice old PC stuff (free ATX cases and a nice mini tower Enlight AT case and PS). I also picked up a working XT for a couple dollars and some old 8 bit ISA cards. All in all $10 for all kinds of old PC parts.

Sometimes you do get lucky, what you treasure is somebody elses junk.
