    Brief preview of my setup

    So here's a few parts/pieces of my current setup.

    This is my laptop madness in the back. Think I've got around 150-200ish. I haven't counted in awhile. I keep telling myself I'll get to them someday!

    Sorting bins right next to my table. After I strip PSUs / Computers I pop everything into the bins as I'm sittin.

    I got this one last week. It's a laptop holder thingy cops use in their cars. It's pretty **** heavy. Enjoy!

    It's alright. Wish I had more room for the scrapping aspect of it. Need those big blue drums to make it easier to cart around instead of banker boxes.

    For a warehouse here, it's almost $20 a square foot, so currently that's out of the question.

    Everybody gotta be someplace.
    You are keeping it organized.
    Don't take on to much overhead until you make enough money.
    Scrap on!

    I'm actually far from where I want to be organized. Far too busy and 100 things going on. Since we're primarily a service shop, I get called every 15 minutes or so with XYZ problems.

    I can only focus and scrap after hours, normally. Which leaves little to no time to organize.

    If you can find some AV carts from school districts up at auction they make EXCELLENT, mobile organizers.

    I just acquired about 5 of these. They're six feet tall and I put magnetic strips on the side so I can hang my tools off them. I'm notorious for losing them.

    Yea I've gone through several of them. Most of them are bad boards, and I've stripped them of any functioning parts (RAM, HDD's, etc).

    I'll probably flip them for parts/not working when I get around to it.

    Boils down to time at the moment.
