How can I give it back when they don't want it back? Businesses just chuck this shit out because it's costs more to test/repair them that buy a new batch from China.

That's pretty cool OP, if it werent for DDR3 prices and the lack of expandability on those integrated boards I'd say make a distributed cluster for shenanigans.

The Biostar stuff is quite capable as media handling machines, pfsense, routing, etc. The J1900 equipped Asrocks will choke on almost anything media though.

Yeah, I was thinking of making a small render farm for fun but as you say the RAM prices are too high and those passively cooled CPUs can't be capable of much. I can only really test and sell them on for cheap if they work.

Give it back, Tyrone

>>62315151
can i have one?

>>62315826
If you want to take a trip to a countryside location in Northamptonshire/Oxfordshire, UK then sure, you can have one. I'm all for helping out fellow poorfag anons.

>>62316123
well im in germany , if you could ship me a working one i could make good use of it

>>62315151
>itx
just put it back in the trash

"""Found"""

Im in the us op think I can nab one. I'll pay for shipping. Make a thread on /r/hardwareswap or something

Use an arch live USB and Pacman stuff like proper drivers for those boards

>>62316570
If you make a thread on hardware swap give us a code word to day so you can give us /g/ Bros a priority.
Also preload a live USB with drivers and do some basic automated testing

Anyone else wish they were in a line of work that regularly exposed them to free hardware.
A high school recently closed down in my area and they had 80 Lenovo ThinkCentres being thrown out.
I nabbed a few hard drives but man imagine working at enterprise tech recycling

>>62315151
dAMN! That's a great haul! What store?

could make for a cute x86 raspberry pi
could leave it at school and have it mine or seed or something.

>>62317069
>p-please stay on 4chan dont go to reddit
if the op wants to maximize their possible income from those mobos then he would probably go to reddit(which allow more seller-buyer interaction to the mass potential-buyers) or ebay

Not a store but a small business on an industrial estate which is where all the good stuff is. As you'd expect this stuff is hard to find initially and usually in the most unexpected of places. Once I know somewhere that throws this stuff out I just return every so often until they inevitable start locking the containers. I have been trying to document my finds by taking pictures because no one is going to believe you when you say you found a X79 motherboard loaded with 32GB of RAM in the trash.

You guys are grade A retards that really should go back to *eddit.

>>62317233
businesses would have a blown cap on their monitor and throw away the entire monitor rather than pay the 12 cents it costs to fix it
they probably used these mobos for some TV screens setup around the building and audited their tech thinking that the mobo is at fault for some vlc artifacts

>>62317188
Why am I going to sell something on a Cantonese pottery board that has more Pajeet scammers than an iPhone eBay listing? Half of these most likely won't even work and if anything I'm just going to sell them on gumtree for cheap.

>dumpster diving excursions
Can you expand on this? Do you target certain dumpsters? What kind of places do you target? Stores/office buildings/etc?

Places like pic related. I'm not sure what the equivalent would be in burgerland. Industrial or business park maybe? I look in almost every waste container and the success rate is like 1 in every 100. Once you've scouted an area a few times you'll become more efficient at searching and knowing where to look. I've also found the bigger towns/cities have worst prospects due to increased crime rate so I stick to smaller towns where security is more lax. Residential is generally a waste of time unless you want old stuff.
