I wish I’d thought to take a photo of a computer I cleaned in 2010. It had been sent to the recycler I worked for from a factory as it had stopped working, and I opened the case to see what sort of components it had.

It was a mid sized ATX tower case, and was literally filled with dust. I don’t mean that there was lots of dust, I mean I couldn’t see any of the internals. I took the side panel off, and it looked like someone had filled the case with foam.

The business next door sold cars, and had an air compressor, so me and the guy who ran it took it in turns blowing the dust out. I never found out what the specs were, as even the PSU was full, and I didn’t want to risk turning it on, even after cleaning it.

Automatic Ripping Machine can pull the main movie off a disc automatically, but I’m not sure about imaging the full disc. Once it’s set up, you just put a disc in and wait.

Because this is a thought experiment. There’s no waste when nobody’s actually buying anything.

Sorry, my bad. I found my old 486 PC in my parent’s attic recently, and started planning to get it running again
