    First Cracker Jack Prize

    Went to visit the new contact I posted about last week for the second time today. Last week it was all motherboards and laptops. This week he decided I should take the same but also offered up his collection of RAM and CPU's.

    I bought 24 lbs of CPUs. Most were green fiber. But I also scored these in the mix.



    My first Cracker Jack Prizes since I started last spring!



    Feelin' really good about these tonight. I think I'll save them for a while to see where the markets go.

    I'll take the one on the right because it's me birthday and me wants it.

    I remember finding my first Pentium Pro.

    It's still in the mother board on the wall above my desk.

    when I look at those, I always wonder if the feeling I get is the same as an old gold-miner finding a little gold nugget...

    BANG!
    I remember my 1st Pentium Pro.. I was really new to e-waste and the draw of it paying me $15 for that one chip was far too strong to keep it.. but I got a second and it is sitting on my shelf.
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    I never expected this. Thought I probably got in the game too late to find any of these.

    Happy Birthday Jimi, but you're not getting my gold!
