my next door neighbour had a what looked like a cardboard box filled with electronic goodies outside his door. Next thing you know, I have 2 new computers including a Thinkpad T60 beauty from 18 years ago. Out with Windows 7 and in with Linix. It now sports a brand new version of Antix Linux distro. The build quality of that thing...
I have another desktop computer to play with that looks cool and has a 500GB hard drive and an i5 based board.

Nice! It's always cool when things can be repurposed instead of just thrown away. I have some older machines here that I use as servers. They're not powerful by today's standards at all, but they're enough for what I use them for. One is a nearly 20 year old PC running a quad core Phenom II processor. 4 cores seems so alien now compared to my desktop that has 32! But it does a good job and it keeps it out of a land fill. :) · 10 months ago
Wish I had neighbours like yours. Mine throw away only "real" garbage.
I managed to get (on the used market) 3 Lenovo Thinkcentre M53's and 1 Lenovo Thinkstation P510 for cheap.
Didn't have your luck 😅 · 10 months ago
