Hahahaha. No! No goldfish for you.

Seriously though; what would your reaction would be if you opened the box and there was a bag of goldfish in there?

[d_stilgar]

What if we just combine the lists and when the box is too full we just split it into two and pay for it to go two places? Or something like that . . . idk.

[x88x]

Sounds good. I think the only problem would be managing all the lists, and making sure that nobody got passed over.

The official rules (http://tgimboej.org) say that if you split the box you should start a separate list.

I got the box today. Here's the list of what I plan to add. I will take what I need in order to make my additions fit. The stuff I like I will use, the stuff that seems like real garbage I may throw away (if nobody is opposed).

Here's what I'll add:
4 electric motors I stripped from a scanner
Two 12V negative ion chargers (read pikashoes)
An old iPod with charger (it works but has been on the frits. If you want to fix/hack it, it's all yours)
Iomega zip drive
Two one gig sticks of DDR ram (may be bad, but idk)
One 300W 1U power supply. This is perfect for a custom build that doesn't require a lot of power.
One AGP ribbon riser.
Various LEDs from stuff I've stripped down.
One two way temp probe with LCD display (for CPU and HDD, but whatever really)
One circuit from a birthday card (from U.S. version of The Office. Michael giving his definition of "reverse psychology)

What I've taken:
3.5" bays
PCI wireless adapter card
Thermal paste
flashlight
carabiner tool
SATA hot swap bay
power supply board
hdd platters
1/8 male to 1/8 male wire
zip ties
velcro wire straps
spritser top
floppy drive

She's all packed up now. Here are the pictures!

The box

Unpacking. There's this paper stuff everywhere. Good thing I'm not searching for needles.

Contents of box.

What I took.

What I added.

Any comments, complaints, concerns, compliments?

[x88x]

Haha, yeah, that paper packing stuff was just the cheapest packing material I could find, plus it's supposed to be anti-static.

Sounds good. Yeah, I know some of it was probably garbage, I just threw it in with the hopes that it would be useful to someone down the line ..and of course, some of the better stuff was in the pile I forgot about

[billygoat333]

might wanna black out the addresses on the box in the picture, just for privacy, and I believe forum rules.

[Oneslowz28]

If the ram is still in there when I get the box I will be taking that out. I can use it in my server.

[d_stilgar]

Fixed the picture. Hope you guys think I have worthy junk.

[x88x]

Haha, definitely. Let me know when you ship it out so I can update the status.
