No, having a different opinion doesn't mean that I'm automatically jealous. But it seems that I hit a nerve. I'm not into buying old hardware. If it wasn't just bragging people wouldn't want to point out how good a deal they made with their purchase. Those who want to show others an interesting …

In some places ewaste (and recycling in general) is more about exploiting subsidies and government contracts than the resale value of the materials extracted - It doesn't matter that you (or anyone else) is willing pay more for a PC or component intact that they worth in scrap value because they …

Not really my thing now tbh, and its been so long since I owned any S7 kit I wouldn't know what's what, even if I'd been actively looking, so when I got the offer of this bundle from an ex-colleague who was clearing out stuff I figured I might take a small punt on it. Picked up today in exchange …

Today was a lucky day. Went to the local PC shop for some thermal compound and asked the seller if they have some old PCs lying around waiting for recycling. They cant throw them away but the company which takes them away comes only few times a year (small shop) so they dont have place in their …

The separate Panasonic / Sony / Mitsumi interfaces died out with 4x drives, if I recall... connecting an IDE drive to an old style interface may damage one or both. If the CDROM has options of master/slave it is definitely IDE. You may have problems with older IDE hard drives which predate …

These days Medion is a synonym for crappy PC. That's complete nonsense. Medion PCs were never considered "crappy". In fact, they are often recommended due to their very good value-for-money ratio. Oh, and btw, these days, Medion belongs to Lenovo. I am using a Medion i3 notebook daily, also for …
