View Full Version : Struck big! Found another garbage pick ahahah
So lately, Ive been striking it big at work (Im a garbage man :-P ) ... Last month, I got a fully functional PS2 (eject button was stuck, fixed it and sold it for $60), a couple weeks ago I got a P4 Toshiba Laptop (still have it, runs perfect), an early 60's 327 OEM intake manifold (have an offer of $150 for it), and yesterday was one of my best finds yet... a AMD 2800+ Emachines computer desktop :shock: Everything was still in there and it looked like it just came off of the display. I figured something was definately wrong with it... has a 120GB H/D, 512MB DDR, Geforce4 (integrated :-/ ) , and a bunch of other crap. What was the problem? I dunno if this coulda been it or what, but the hard drive wasnt getting juice.... I unplugged the power cord to inspect the hard drive, and plugged in a different cord by accident, and boom, fired right up with no problems :shock: Even tho eMachines has a bad rep, I can still prolly get between $350 and $450 for it after a fresh install of XP and a cleanjob.
I would spend a lot of time going through all the files from the people.

I use razor blades a lot at work.

For cutting?
Best ive got : Dell Trinitron monitor, Pioneer SX-434 Receiver.
Not to mention Ive also found a ****load of stuff over the course of almost 3 years. Engine Stand, Carbs, Subwoofers, Hard Drives, 256MB + 512MB RAM chips, a couple Xbox's, alot of NES, SNES, SEGA, and PS1 consoles + games (which I exchanged at GameStop for money, about $400 worth) . And one of the guys I work with collects copper to take it to a place to cash in. It's usually like 50 - 70 cents a pound... he went to cash in last week and got $10,500+ ... he bought himself a new Ford F-150 on Thursday. :shock:
Thats just what I can think off the top of my head. There were a lot more **** I've found lol
**Oh yea not to mention, the 20" monitor I sold to Justin was a garbage pick too :-D I have another one here, but its alot lighter hehehe**

me too

Nah lol I actually purchased those when I bought my 86 TA my first month of work. Specifically, I found a brand new Bazooka 12" sub and I also found an amplifier once, but it overheated really quick so I figured it deserved to stay in the garbage in the first place. I sold the woofer for $50 :-D

one man's trash is another man's cash.
You got that right... Im on the computer now... the integrated Geforce4 is shot, so I threw in an old Voodoo3 temporarily. Someones coming to my house Tuesday to pick it up for $400 :-D Awesome
Update: After browsing the computer and the pictures that were on the Hard Drive for over an hour, I can safely say......
LOL!!!
Im not a religious hater or anything, but isnt it ironic when a "jew" throws out a computer? This young female (ugly btw so dont ask for photos) , had about a gig of pictures of dancing, proms, graduation from WCC (i dunno wtf that is), and of course.... her Channakauh Wish List which was none other than "#2 : New Computer" LOOOOOOL
Since I dont have the original Emachines 3-disk restoration which deletes all the C drive and installs a fresh Windows XP with Nortons, etc... and this comp has NO 3 1/2 Floppy drive, it makes it almost impossible to format the comp, unless I got a new hard drive. The XP CD i have is copied and requires a special "Boot Disk" aka a 3 1/2 Floppy disk.... so Im ****ed ATM ... other than that, it all works great :-D
were there any pics of any hot chicks?
were there any pics of any hot chicks?
Nope... not one decent looking chick.... mostly redheads and dopefiends...

redheads are either absolutely gorgeous or bufugly (butt ****ing ugly).
Post any pics stat.
Also if you were closer id say get my XP CD. Its an OEM ver. so no floppy needed
Well, I got someone coming over tonight with a disk thatll wipe the entire system... eveerrrrything, I even think the BIOS gets wiped and replaced with a better one, not too sure tho.

nah i doubt it will erase the BIOS, if the BIOS gets erased your ****ed. but there is a way that you can reflash the BIOS. what your friend has prolly just wipes the drives (partition tables and MBR).
