lol, I've inherited some old junk too a couple of times...lol....

My first three motherboards/cases were from my uncle when he upgraded..then I got tired of waiting for old components and built my own...

By far the best component I ever got was a HP jetdirect 500 parellel port print server. Average retail price these days is $350USD!

I figured it was worth about 50-60USD when I got it, but then I did some research! Holy crap! It's worth that much! hehehe....boss told me they didn't need it anymore and to throw it out or take it home....
