Whats In Your Loft
« on: 12 February 2009, 01:16:39 »

Got to sort the loft out ready to move home.  Suddenly realised what the job may entail.  This is just 1 picture starting from a corner of the loft.

Upto about 5 years ago I was into allsorts including building basic web PC's.  I was out most days buying parts and bits for upgrades and also did loads of S/H PC's.  So when I spotted a bargain or got good discount I bought in bulk.

Things were going fine, kept me busy and got some really good contacts.  Any way had quite a build up of stuff including 7 15" CRT montitors bought at 50% or less.  3 IBM, 2 x Compaq and 2 x Hansol.  Quite a few cases, motherborads the whole works.

Then out of the blue an opportunity came up that I had to put a lot of time and effort into leaving me no spare time at all but had/has massive potential, set up an office etc and went for it.  But just put eveything else on the back burner.

As a result it all got shuffled into the lost and forgotten about to a degree, untill now that is.  Some of the montitors have been sold or even given to charities, but they were bought just before TFT became popular and well before the TFT prices started to drop.  The sad thing is, brand new and boxed they aint worth a light now.

The boaards are out of date as they probably wont take more than XP 2100+ CPU's but have never been used.

I now have to decide what to do with it, and it's gonna hurt in some cases goz of the original outlay.

Might learn one day.  These days not worth keeping stock as prices allways seem to be dropping.
