Guest Nathanised

Title says it all.

For me it would be 2 things: an actual server with a 9.1GB SCSI interface HDD next to a dumpster, and a 1998 iMac G3.

I found 4 unopened GTX Titans at a Walmart parking lot one time.

In all seriousness, I found a chinese knock-off TV and a Powermac G3.

My sister found a blocked iPhone, I bought it of her for £10 and then sold it for £80... She went nuts and mum told me off for ''ripping her off''

Intel Core I5-3570K @ 4.4GHz, AMD Radeon HD6950, Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe motherboard, 8GB DDR3 Corsair RAM, Corsair H100, 60GB Agility3 OS drive + 1TB WD Blue drive. 

I use this rig mainly for facebook and emails. Pointless effort to be honest!

I found an intake manifold from a ford 4.6L V8 in a ditch, the manifold itself was trashed but the MAF sensor throttlebody and upper plenum were still good, I stripped them off and made an easy $200 on craigslist.
