Dave Syrinx 219 Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 I tend to never throw anything out. So, some older computer stuff get stored in the basement. I´m curious what you have lying around? What if your laptop or desktop stopped working? What do you dig up from your basement? I´ll tell you what I have if you show me yours. Cheers! /Dave Cryzeteur 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cryzeteur 1,407 Posted October 21 Report Share Posted October 21 (edited) I used to have seven computers and parts but when my parents died I down-sized and now only have a PS-1, PS2, PS3, XBOX-2 and some miscellaneous cords, adapters, power supplies, and what not. It is all stuffed into several boxes and an uninteresting cabinet. Edited October 21 by Cryzeteur Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Syrinx 219 Posted October 24 Author Report Share Posted October 24 I have a handful of computers, laptops and monitors in various states of disrepair. The first one I tried to revive was this one: a quad core 2,5Ghz HP 8000 elite. It has 8Gb of RAM and a Geforce210. I tried to configure it with a SB Audigy 2 sound card, but I can´t get it to work properly. The drivers are in, but I guess I have to disconnect the onboard sound or something. Anyway, with an USB wifi, I can use this PC in a pinch. Option #1 Cryzeteur 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Syrinx 219 Posted October 25 Author Report Share Posted October 25 Buried in the far end was my old workstation i7 laptop. Turns out it´s faster than my current laptop. I use a docking station and had to plug keyboard and such as things don´t work properly in the machine. Some pesky connector got bent when I opened it up. It works fine as a desktop replacement. Got 1300 points on CPUz benchmark. I guess I have to bring it in from the porch if I am to use it though. Getting cold out here. Cryzeteur 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cryzeteur 1,407 Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 Umm... Neither of those links worked. But that's fine. Good effort. Dave Syrinx 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Syrinx 219 Posted October 25 Author Report Share Posted October 25 Oh, so the images don´t show up? I´ll see if I can make some way for them to show up properly. Have a great week! Cryzeteur 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
