2025-10-03 15:15:06 +0000 UTCOh, thanks for sharing! We have a store SIMILAR to this in Houston called EPO (Electronics Parts Outlet) but it's not a straight up eWaste business, more like a surplus store. It's always a fun trip!

2025-09-30 14:21:24 +0000 UTCI actually DID get that HP working. Turns out I was using the wrong barrel jack adapter for the power supply. Using the correct connector got it working! And I JUST posted the video on the DDR2 system haha

Knowing you, you'll get that retail computer working - and I admit to being curious about the one that needs DDR2 RAM. Fun! Thanks!

2025-06-27 17:34:56 +0000 UTCYeah I JUST started tinkering with it today. I found it in a stack of busted wyse systems so I just made the assumption.
