    Load Picture Heavy

    OK I went to E-Scrap becuase I do not have alot of storage and this is(was) something I could do in my garage.
    I got a call form a storage unit owner with a unit with some computers in there. I drove out there and there was alot more that just computers. The unit was about 90% machine controller stuff. The deal we worked out is I had to buy him lunch and take all the monitors.
    I convinced a friend of mine to let me use his warehouse for a little while.
    So after 3 truck and trailer loads later.


    Here are the 10 computers and 1 Server. No hard drives in the server but 3 powersuplies. 1 is also a Sun workstation.


    And of course what everyone needs a 8in floppy drive


    Not realy sure but Alum case and a board and Transformer


    A stack of the Controllers




    There is a big pile of these motor controllers


    Boxes of wire wire harnesses with gold pin connectors


    Boxes of boards I have been asking about


    3 Phase motors and a few transformers


    Most important my modern art project anyone know of an art studio I can display at
