New computer bits!
Well, they are not really new, but they are new to me. I don’t do new computer components often, and when I do it is only really hard drives. The rest I salvage from other people’s old computers.
Today I went doing a maintenance job for someone who had got a new computer but needed the CDRW drive and Floppy Disk drive from their old computer putting into the new one. While I had the old computer in pieces they mentioned to me that they were going to be taking the old one to the scrap yard so I asked if I could take some of the bits from it first.
I came away with a motherboard (unknown brand so not much use as getting drivers will be very difficult), an AMD Semperon processor, 1GB RAM, and a 200GB HDD as well as some assorted cables and case fans.
I’m looking forward to being able to swap out some of the oldest parts of my PC and replace them with these newer parts. If nothing else, it was the RAM I really wanted. I’m quite attached to my really old AMD XP processor.
