What would you pay for it?

Just curious, I thought I’d ask here. I want to power a GPU. My potato of a PC, which is a Dell Inspiron 3847. Does not have enough power from the factory power supply. I took the easy way out and decided to buy a Dell server power supply with a breakout board now I would like to turn them on at the same time. I was thinking about using an Arduino, but is there an easier way to do this?

Spent a few seconds updating Bios. Replaced thermal paste, added thermal pads to GPU ram ( idk seemed like a good idea). And installed 2GB Asus GT710 2GB and 16 GB ram. Found a DVI to HDMI cord at the thrift store. Between the thermal pads , thermal paste , GPU, ram and cords. I’m at 31$ total cost on the PC. I already had the mouse , razor keyboard and SSD. The monitor my girlfriend gave me. This is a Dell Inspiron 3847 I found in the trash.

Seek, and you shall find. I’ve been contemplating about picking up a pair of Chicago 1s either lost and found or Bred. Found these in a goodwill. Coming in clutch only paying 75% off original price. Few scruff marks. I know I can’t complain….Really good day today.

Today’s Ewaste finds. 2 GB graphics card . 16 GB of DDR3 ram .

Attempted to turn it on. Pulled it apart there was heavy corrosion in the power switch, so I’ll pulled it out and soldered a jumper wire in its place. After finding out that my voltage meter does not work, I’ll be ordering a new one along with an assortment of capacitors. This is a very Generic NES from 2000.

Things you shouldn’t be doing while working. Might grab a Bluetooth pocket keyboard off AliExpress.

I’ve been playing with the controller plugged into my PC since this tragedy has happened. I would of replaced the tab but I didn’t have any in my stash. I might of dropped the soldering iron on the shell but at least now I can use the controller wirelessly again.

I’ve been using this controller plugged into my PC since the controllers battery compartment was damaged by dollar store batteries . Finally got around to fixing it. I would have replaced the tab but I didn’t have any in my stash. I swear I didn’t accidentally drop the soldering iron on the controller shell……

Little bit of toothpaste, a little bit of laundry detergent.

Fun fact I found these in a thrift store. (Guess how much I paid) I hardly ever find shoes like these anymore. I used to buy a pair of shoes a week but life has changed. What’s the craziest pair you have found in a thrift store?

I cannot keep my shoes, clean for the life of me. I forgot to take a before picture.

Got these last year only wore them 3 times I do terrible with white shoes.
