It’s high time I give these HP Vectra systems the attention they deserve… The Vectra line of systems are among my favorite enterprise workstations from this time period. The system on top is on...
2023-07-01 22:58:26 +0000 UTC View PostWell my on-call week came early... I switched with someone to free up the weekend that VCF Southeast falls on. This week has been... Eventful... For that reason this video is shorter than usual. Ho...
2023-06-30 03:57:20 +0000 UTC View PostNot knowing the contents of these systems has been driving me slightly mad... Time to remedy that! These are all either custom builds or products from some small-time system builders. The free-time...
2023-06-23 01:59:38 +0000 UTC View PostSince we looked at Compaq systems last week, I figured we'd look at some of the Dells in this haul. This is another video that came down to the wire, but I'm glad to be releasing it on-time! Still ...

I'm pretty surprised at how strong the Compaq video is performing! Seems these systems are special to quite a lot of people. Have to admit I was a bit nervous about this one, but so glad to see it'...
2023-06-12 16:34:23 +0000 UTC View PostWell this week was pretty eventful, lots of work-related on-call stuff spilled over to this week... However, I'm fortunate to have completed this week's video on-time! Covering some of the Compaq s...

These are some of the systems that have been driving me mad with curiosity. Not knowing what’s inside is killing me. Time to remedy that! Going to be a tough one time-wise. This is a short week f...
2023-05-31 01:33:31 +0000 UTC View PostBy the way, I'm making a laptop video! Normally I make a post about a week in advance on what I'm working on, but still wasn't sure if this video was even going to be about these particular systems...
2023-05-26 01:17:30 +0000 UTC View PostThis one about broke me time-wise, but fortunately it's ready in-time for Friday release! I don't even have the thumbnail yet. Haven't even taken the picture but I wanted to get this out to you. It...

I had planned a laptop video for next week, but it hasn’t quite come together yet. Going to be tearing into some of the more unusual towers from the haul instead. From left to right: an HP NetSer...
2023-05-13 18:28:43 +0000 UTC View PostI ended up dropping down to just the desktop Gateway 2000 systems due to time constraints. However, there are plenty more Gateway systems to cover, so the tower's time will come. Let me know what y...

Starting on the first batch of Gateway systems. Three Gateway 2000s and one LP Select mini-tower. It seems that many people are quite fond of Gateway systems and it's no surprise given how ubiquito...

2023-05-05 20:46:23 +0000 UTC View PostWell, I couldn't manage to fit five systems in this video, but certainly found some gems in the systems I did cover! These are some of the oldest systems from the Franklin eWaste haul. Going back t...

Let’s see if I can get FIVE systems in this one! Trying to prioritize the older systems which might potentially have leaky batteries. It’s been a lot of fun so far!
2023-04-30 17:41:18 +0000 UTC View PostWell this was a tough one, but fortunately I've got it finished before the weekend! Tearing down and testing the IBM PS/1 and PS/2 from the Franklin eWaste haul. Also decided to throw my darling PS...
2023-04-28 03:55:21 +0000 UTC View PostTrying to get a feel for Patreon as a video platform, so I made a quick video of me bumbling through a small wood-working project today. I've been struggling with finding a good angle for the compu...
2023-04-24 04:28:16 +0000 UTC View PostThis was a tough one to get done due to this being my on-call week at work, but I'm very pleased to be able to release this video in time for the weekend! This is the second batch of systems from t...

I’ve started shooting the next video, which covers these positively ginormous AT and ATX towers. They’re nearly 24 inches or 61 centimeters tall! Baby AT for scale. Getting these massive things...

I’m about 70% done with shooting the first video on the contents of this massive lot. I’ve started with the baby AT systems! I’m hoping to have everything shot and edited for release this wee...
