    I admit it...I'm one of the local dumpster divers in my condo community. Thankfully i have not found any human, animal, reptile or rodent remains at this time. Today i found a partially cannibalized desktop computer.
    "ImproMed Infinity, Workstation-WS8". I thoroughly enjoyed tearing this thing apart. It satisfied my savage destructive cravings! Below is a list of the treasures that i discovered.........
    1. Two fans
    2. Two heatsinks
    3. Four miniature motors
    4. One laser
    5. Three sticks of ram (Samsung/Apacer 512 MB (I have no need & will dispose of)
    6. One DVD, Windows 7, 16x, 4.7 GB/120Min
    Afterwards i gave back the above remains to the dumpster. I am now at peace with the world.

    I've been pulling parts from damaged computers for years. I've been able to take advantage of a couple of fans and some RAM.
