I remember someone saying something about VHS...

Here's my player... It has some failed caps inside but I think I can get it to work again when I find the parts that I need...

And here's my collection... One of the tape sets are still unopened...

I'll post some more stuff when I get back to Uni... I'm part of a group that manages the computer laboratories in our department and it's filled with 15" CRTs, Atom-based PCs, and Pentium IIs... Also a bunch of old HP P4 desktops and ball mice... Not to mention those transparency projectors...

Just hope your VHS are ok... I'd to throw lots of floppy disks over time

I hope so too... They're basically stored somewhere virtually airtight and last opened 3 years ago when I had to get my 2-way radio... But from what I heard in my archiving class, mangetic tapes are somewhat close to microfilms when it comes to (proper) storage...

Here's some of mine. Sorry for the low quality, I had to use my iPad camera.

post-87518-0-02945100-1406493996.jpg

Here's an Club3D Radeon 9600 Pro (not HD) with 128MB VRAM. Also has an Arctic Cooling Silencer on it.

post-87518-0-54433800-1406493998.jpg

Socket 478 Pentium 4 (Prescott I assume) @ 2.8 GHz, 1M cache and hyperthreading.

post-87518-0-20741500-1406494001.jpg

DDR1 DIMM (1 GB)

post-87518-0-69076000-1406494003.jpg

Not that retro, but here's a GT330.

post-87518-0-33679000-1406494166.jpg

A full size (well, mATX) Socket 478 motherboard!

post-87518-0-58324500-1406494168.jpg

And here's the PC where most of these parts came from. The case now runs my first AMD system.
