Found this at my school in the broadcasting department. It makes me mad on many levels

Sounds like Beal.

My reaction friends on exactly what they are, because they're certainly not old enough to be collector pieces, but I suspect they're not exactly new either...

I'll have one of those on my keyring if you don't mind

@Zaphod65 most pentiums, a few Athlon 64 v2s and 4 i3 cpus. I may have lifted a few of those last ones...

I guess they are gold plated.... So.......

@n3xus our school is fucked.

@theuser @n3xus

What do you think of my keyring?

Dude, just clean them up and salvage what you can!

Reported for gore.

I would bet they are there for a good reason.

@mbj047 honestly I doubt it. There are things like this just lieing around our school.

@n3xus I did work for a government funded school where we needed to spend our budget before the year ended or we'd lose money. Ordered all sort of useless crap.

Our school has >2 Apple 2 standing around...

What processors were they?

@theaviator Had also one, but drilled the hole too close to the corner so it eventially broke off.

Pffff Just i3s ...

My debut novel is very gorey and bloody... I can handle gore on so many levels, but this... This is enough to shock me!

what kind are they

@Haxk20 Unless you do it in enormous bulk batches, and do a lot of searching for cheap chemicals, you won't make much of a profit. Especially if you consider labor costs!

It's a lot of fun though. 😁

I did a lot of PCB etching for home automation and robotics, and recently found out how cheap it is to just let someone in China make a single custom PCB and even solder all the components... but I have to admit that it takes away a lot of the joy.
