The epic computer Recycle Bin thread

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I've just deleted 300 MBs from my Recycle Bin.

[Fangirl Three]

I only have 14 M in my Rubbish Bin.

Oh, I thought this was going to about what you do when an expensive bit of computerage goes kaput and you can't bring yourself to just hurl it into a skip.

[Guest]

Mine is empty and clean.

Talking 'bout my generation computers and bins my old Pegasos II PSU blew up today. I'm in two minds to sell the motherboard and all the bits chuck what's left in the bin or get another PSU/case for it.

[Guest]

Well, I've gone for:



And the third cheapest, and at 450w the lowest powered Modular PSU.



I've not bolted a computer together in years, I wonder if I can remember how.

Ooh transparent sides, aren't we posh.

[Guest]

They've all got glass sides these days, it's not even got any fancy lights as it's a cheap one.

It's got USB3 ports on the front panel, I don't think they'll work on the USB 1 header on the mother board.

I don't think it's even 1.1, :forshame:

That's an old Time/Tiny Computer case isn't it?

[Fangirl Three]

Tiny Computer? Going aaaaaaaaaaaall the way back

[Guest]

I think my first PC was a Tiny, or Time one,


hang on…

33.6k modem. None of your old-fashioned 28.8k rubbish.

[Guest]

And as all the Pentium MMX were 233 just arranged in 166/200/233 for sales reasons I successfully overclocked it to 200MHz for years with no ill effects.

It was the maximum the Muther went up to
