I'm up to something...
🕑 Added 2023-09-15 12:50:17 +0000 UTCSorry, I won't have a video for this week. Mostly due to spending 4 days traveling to and attending VCF Midwest. However, there's another reason: I've been working on securing a second e-waste haul! It won't be as large as the first one (estimated 50 systems), but it sure looks like there's some interesting stuff in there. I see a Trinitron monitor and more baby ATs! Although I'm still not even half way through the first haul, you have to jump on these things whenever they pop up. Future content secured! I'm on my way to Tennessee now to pick them up.
I do have a video shot and partially edited which was supposed to come out this week. I'll likely just upload twice next week. I've been wanting to experiment with shorter mid-week videos anyhow.
Thank you all for your continued support of this madness!

Oh hey! Yup, it’s a little town just south of Nashville. Yeah the struggle is real! I can’t believe how lucky I am to have found these hauls. The channel would be going nowhere without them!

Hi Mike. We talked a little bit just after Adrian's talk at VCF SE. I'm from Tennessee, so it's possible you grabbed a machine I've once used. Do you mind sharing what general area this recycler is based? Here in the Chattanooga area, it feels like a total retro desert and it's a struggle to find anything like this. Edit: Strike that! I didn't know "Franklin E-waste" was in Tennessee.

Yup, though it was way back around 2008. Yeah that would be cool! I've had one G3 for a while now. Pretty sure the motherboard is irreparable. That would be a great candidate for it!

Have you ever built a Hackintosh? I was thinking maybe you could take one of those Mac Pro’s or G3 towers and construct a FrankenMac out of modern-ish Intel components.
