    I don't like it. I'm not a fan of when people mod a car so much that it's unrecognizable

    What's the best thing you've found while "dumpster diving" as far as computers go?
     
    I've never done it, so I can't contribute.

    I had another time where i knew a guy who had a pre-built gaming pc from origin and apparently it stopped working and he threw it outside and it was left out there for about a year through the winter. He decided to give it away for free to one of my friends so my friend and I headed out and dug it out from two and a half feet of snow, and brought it back to his house. We cleaned it off, dried it out, and put it back together. The only part that turned out to be bad was the hard drive, so for the price of a new hard drive and a copy of windows. (about $180 when all was said and done) my friend was able to pick up a gaming computer that had an unlocked i5 processor, an AIO water cooler, 8gb of corsair vengeance RAM, and an EVGA super clocked 650ti, all in a bitfenix prodigy m case.
     
    He still has it today and its running strong.

    A couple years ago a few friends and i were driving around just hanging out when we saw this huge old CRT tv on the side of the road. My tv that i had at the time was too small to really play split screen xbox on comfortably, so we decided to grab the tv. The tv was too big to fit into the trunk of the car we were in and my house was about a mile away so we drove back, picked up this gardening wagon (think something the size of those old radio flyer wagons exept more heavy duty and with offroad tires.) and ratchet strapped that sucker to it.
     
    Now just imagine a group of teenagers pulling that thing through suburban neighborhood streets at 1am. 
     
    When we got it back to my house it took several of us to carry it up a couple flights of stairs. I swear it weighed atleast 180lbs. I dont really remember much more about that night but I do remember that it worked like a charm after that.
     
    The tv is actually still at my house today because its so heavy and too bulky to move without a couple other people. 
     
    The actual tv wasn't that great of a find because even when we picked it up it was already really outdated, but it was more of the experience  of getting it that made it the best thing ive found..

    I personally had one of these and, It was total crap. The options on the web interface were fine and all, but several of my devices kept getting disconnected from it and I couldn't find any fixes. It could have been a defective unit, so if someone else has one and you like it then i guess it could be a good router.
