Found a computer - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=gaboer;25735662]If that guy's watch slips :v:[/QUOTE] Well personally my hand is a lot wider than my wrist and so that would be realistically impossible.

[QUOTE=Van-man;25735508]It's actually more because of possible industry espionage, atleast when it comes to companies destroying hdd's. If the hdd's contains sensitive information for your company or your customers, you [B]WANT[/B] to be 100% sure the data can't be retrieved again. Hence why HDD shredding is a fast growing business [MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQYPCPB1g3o[/MEDIA][/QUOTE] I bet you that if someone emails this to a writer on any major justice law show like CSI or NCIS or whatever, the next episode will feature them finding a hard drive like this and then reconstructing it.

I remember watching some tv show about blades and stuff and there was a shredder like that but a lot bigger

imagine how painful that would be if you got your hand stuck in it.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;25686682]I hate when people take drills to hard drives. it's such a waste when they can just dban them and be done with it[/QUOTE] Or, if it's an old 30GB IDE, use the platters as clay pigeons. That's how I disposed of someone's old tax returns when I found them on a drive I bought for a project.

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;25745802'] pentium 4 HT prescott 2m 1GB ddr2 ram 160GB HDD ATI radeon x300 SE 256mb[/QUOTE] thats better than my laptop... looks like it would be good for having as a extra computer for a LAN party or a dedicated server.

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;25751790']is a 3GHZ Prescott 2m better than a 3.2GHZ normal Prescott?[/QUOTE] no but since it's one of the hyperthreaded ones it's better than a 3.2 GHz prescott sans-ht

they are both hyperthreaded

Run some tests and see which one's faster.

There's a dump in town near my house, might have to scope it out.

Yeah, there's one north of me along the train tracks. I now have this itching desire to go to it.

might not be the same where you are but almost [i]ALL[/i] of the dumps here have cameras all over the place and most wont let you take stuff. [editline]31st October 2010[/editline] it is a good idea to have lots of spare parts in case the last owner took any parts before dumping the thing

I have a 1.8Ghz old celeron e-machines, Pentium 2 dell, and a Pentium 1 with MOTHERFUCKING MMX Who wants?

im currently fixing 3 dell 1702fp's, they just need 2 new caps each. i've already gotten one working, pretty cool stuff. im recording it for a little video, i'll give some pics if i feel like it later [editline]30th October 2010[/editline] forgot to mention they're lcd screens [editline]30th October 2010[/editline] forgot to mention they're lcd screens

drummer you should host cs party and invite me

I don't see why you guys are taking the piss out of old Dells with Pentium 4's. I still have one in my room and I only upgraded to a dual core a year ago. :smith:

[QUOTE=koekje4life V2;25686938]I wish Holland had dumps like that. :saddowns:[/QUOTE] we do actually they are just managed by cyclus/sita so you cant take shit away you can just bring shit

dells are buckets of shit when it comes to quality and reliability

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;25756004]I have a 1.8Ghz old celeron e-machines, Pentium 2 dell, and a Pentium 1 with MOTHERFUCKING MMX Who wants?[/QUOTE] me me me

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;25762969']dells are buckets of shit when it comes to quality and reliability[/QUOTE] their screens are good and i've yet to see a dell that's given me problems. i can't speak for 2005+ models though.

[QUOTE=cbrain;25763745]me me me[/QUOTE] sure which one

[QUOTE=drummerundrcovr;25764570]their screens are good and i've yet to see a dell that's given me problems. i can't speak for 2005+ models though.[/QUOTE] i mean the towers most of my screens are dell

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;25756004]I have a 1.8Ghz old celeron e-machines, Pentium 2 dell, and a Pentium 1 with MOTHERFUCKING MMX Who wants?[/QUOTE] I'd like the one with the 1.8ghz celeron please.

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;25756004]I have a 1.8Ghz old celeron e-machines, Pentium 2 dell, and a Pentium 1 with MOTHERFUCKING MMX Who wants?[/QUOTE] I'll take the Pentiums, where are you?

Update on the dell dimenshit they are about ~£80 on ebay so I cleaned up mine and im flogging it

I'm in Glasgow. Note, I will take the HDDs out, but if you want I'll wipe them and leave you to dick with them.

[QUOTE=Wnd;25760130]drummer you should host cs party and invite me[/QUOTE] I'm guessing you mean online? unless you wanna travel all the way to CT :haw:. I have DSL unworthy of hosting more than 6 people though. :(
