I Saved Old Computers From Being Scrapped!

Note: All computers received will have their drives appropriately wiped to respect the original owner's privacy :) Today we're looking at a bunch of old computers I got from a local recycler. They will definitely need a clean and restorations in future videos. Let's see exactly what I got :) #retro #computer #desktops

2:15 that VGA Port is just rusty from the RTX Level performance it’s been pushing out 👌

[HighPeakMapping]

Nathan is so kind, I wish there were more people like him in this world

[zaamuro]

Those CREATIVE Cd drives brings back a lot of memories, they were the bomb, headphone jack, track no and remote!

[TheKDKCollector]

I love how you managed to salvage these old PCs mate! I love these old PCs too, unfortunately it’s hard to find them in my area, let alone recycling centers 😅

[techshowyt]

It's awesome that you are rescuing these old computers! Glad to know they will be properly repaired and cared for

[nikolaszisoudis]

I love recycling. I have found ALL my pcs there and the amount of consoles are astonishing

[SparksNZeros]

seeing you clean and restore these machines is so satisfying as hell, i am so onboard <3

I kinda miss these days of system builder PCs when everyone had their own weird case and motherboard designs.

[BilisNegra]

Got to say the Acer case is original and sleek, clearly standing up from the beige box crowd. The Dell machine also has quite a recognizable design, but is maybe a notch below. The boxy machines are very cool as nostalgia-inducers in their own right, but guess they objectively pale in comparison, although the Hyundai is a bit in the middle, sort of on the boxy side, but with a design language of its own.

It's nice that you prevent electronics from E-Waste.

The serviceman: It is obviously the CPU. What else?

[sgtpeppers]

Wow, god bless you for saving these machines. Hopefully A.I. will spare us after knowing there are people like you. Really looking forward to the restorations!

[jeff]

Awesome. Can't wait for the follow ups. Looks very promising 👌👍

2:06 TRIGGERED MY TRYPOPHOBIA! I AM STILL SHUDDERING!

Edit: Sorry for caps

[jackieburkhart]

i'm so glad i discovered you in my feed. this is great content!

I had a computer in a case just like that one from cashies. Mine was from A&R, you might remember them, but I doubt they are related. 3:14 That sticker has something to do with Apple computers sold to schools. Every 90s Mac i've come across with a school's asset tag has also had this sticker. No idea what it means though. And that dongle sticking out of the back is probably a software key, a popular form of anti-piracy. Also, tell those guys at ERA to actually put stuff on their web store. Thanks...

Always look forward to your videos Nathan, didn't disappoint as usual!

2:06 - This would most likely set people off who suffer Trypophobia (Fear of clusters of objects such as holes and bombs).

Strange why they went with this design, though I suppose this was many years before people started getting fears of anything.

[DecibelAlex]

Before you wipe the hard drives, remember to backup the drivers! It'll save you some headache. finding drivers for those old machines in this day is close to impossible. I speak from experience.

Last time I went to the recycling center I picked up two 8-bit Nintendos, an IBM Aptiva 2420 and an IBM model 30. Both IBM's work. One NES I managed to save, the second one was beyond repair so I built a Mini ITX PC in it instead. One man's trash is another man's treasure

I have a Pentium 1 in the same case as @4:33. Great tip for cleaning grime from the front panel, put the front plastic panel in the dishwasher.
