It been quite dry out there ever since kung-flu restrictions fully lifted over a year ago. Still managed to finds some interesting stuff lately:
-32GB SSD, for which I already 3D-printed a bracket for. 10EUR Seems a little too much, considering brand new 120GB drives go for ~13Eur now, but there aren't many options for low capacity anymore and they go for ~30-40EUR.
-A bunch of 512MB CF cards. 10 for 3EUR. More DOS installations than i will ever need.
-DDR400 memory sticks with some fancy heatsinks. Forgot the price, but it was pocket-change.
-HP Pavilion T3000. Local listing for 20. The "packaging" was a garbage bag, tape and the shipping label. Still somehow arrived with no dents or broken parts. AM2+/AM3 Motherboard from Gigabyte, Athlon64 x2 3800, DDR2 memory, some basic video adapter card. I have a couple of projects I want to use it with and would likely swap out the guts completely, but I have a hard time deciding which. What era does it look like it represents more? Windows XP or Vista? It was around for both.
I'd hazard a guess and say that it probably shipped with XP. From it's specs it would run Vista but I'd personally stick with XP.
