Scraggles Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I want to make a piece of furniture incorporating old CPU's. Does anyone know where I could get some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lingwo Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I'd look on Ebay. I'm sure someone is selling faulty CPUs. A quick search brings loads of results. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted May 2, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 2, 2014 Yeah, ebay is your best chance. Or work in the junk yard. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_K Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Depends what kinda CPU you want, if you're talking old P1 and whatnot, they'll be expensive because of the higher amounts of gold in them (which salvagers want). If however you just want dies to use, look up eprom or rom dies on ebay, not sure if they'll have them or whatnot but they'll probably be much cheaper.

leesmithg Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 If you lived in England Or the U.K. I would had sent a working one, you could then mash it up a bit and make it non-working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
episode Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I want to make a piece of furniture incorporating old CPU's. Does anyone know where I could get some? Do you want actual CPUs? Or are you classifying an entire tower as a CPU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
