You Don't Need to Keep Every Electronic Box! (lemmy.today)

Just cleaned out mt garage, closet, and attic. No clue why I kept every single box of anything electronic/tech based in the last ten years. I just tossed boxes for phones I haven't had in years, old CPU and heat sync boxes, boxes for 100mbps nics, old modems I don't have anymore. I've never needed any of these and have brought them with me through too many house moves.

Retro PC...is that a thing?

Of course it is. It's fun to rebuild the computer of your youth, and run old games on periodically correct hardware.

Yes. [email protected] is a good community. SDF.org is worth looking at, as the community there predates the internet.
