It takes both, and it takes hard work. Get into this NOW and make your niche, because this is the next generation of "scrapping"
That's the plan, I'm just quite surprised at how fast word of mouth got around. Once I get the workshop done, then it'll be me going around to the stores and seeing what I can get, and the school will be able to get me all their computers as they break. Right now it's just a few components.

Send me a few pics of that and I may make an offer. Way more than scrap. I have been wanting an old C64 and a 1541 drive for some time. Would make this old geek happy.
I've thought about selling it, but being a geek myself I've also thought about keeping it. Main issue would be, I have no idea how I would see if it even works. It's just the keyboard and drive, no monitor or cables, and it was a school demo unit, so there was probably some abuse i there somewhere.
I'll keep you in mind if I do decide to get rid of it.
Edit: I'll see about some pictures tomorrow, gonna be a busy day though so no guarantees.
