Local e-waste event changed my mind on scrapping old boards

I used to just throw them out, but seeing folks repurpose parts convinced me to keep them. Now I have a stockpile for repairs and tinkering.

Yeah it's crazy what you can salvage. I keep a bin for old PC power supplies, those are gold for 12v fans and molex connectors. Saves a ton on small repair jobs.

Honestly, seeing that stuff at the event changed my mind too, just like jade3.
