Yes these are all from my old house. This all happened after I got drunk and had just ended my relationship with my fiance. We bought the house together, and I pretty much flipped out.
The motherboard decorations started almost immediatly after I first moved there. Lived there almost 2 years, and was supposed to get married in September.

Well, I'm sure doing that relieved a lot of stress...

JUST WOW!!! After that, I think right now he has a surplus of stress relief LMAO :laugh:

Yeah, I'm usually a pretty easy-going guy, but when I drink Molson XXX strange things happen. One time I only had 3, and it ended in an explosion and hospital visit. As for the Gentoo install, my friend Brian (who actually referred me to this thread in the first place) did like 98% of the work. To this day, I still can't set up Gentoo, way too much to remember for me.

Why bother go Fedora Core. I can imagine a slogan for FC :
"Fedora Core let us do the remebering part and sht yo "

Yeah, FC was definitely my second favorite distro. But when Brian showed me Portage and distrubted compiling, Gentoo took the cake. Ebuilds 4 lyfe!

As long as your current basement doesn't end up looking like a WWII battle front then good luck with whatever distor you pick

remind me never to piss you off while you are at my place and are both, a, inebriated and, b, have access to an extensive pallete of Krylon cans.

Dude, if you have that many dead motherboards you might want to stop rubbing your feet on the carpet real fast before you work on them.

 

[Gillbot]

I have more if you want to add to your collection.

Actually, anytime I do computer work I like to fire up a tesla generator and hold onto while running my hands all over the PCBs. Is that bad?

My fiance's father bought the house and they are soon going to be tearing down the room. So I am going to take them down and donate them to someone that might want to do the same thing. I live in an apartment now and have no place to put them

I couldn't imagine there being anything special you have to do with them. I mean, you can throw out a TV, right?

Here in Ontario, certain computer components, ie motherboards, are considered toxic waste and disposing of them in a landfill is a violation of law.

Let's see... on one of them I set the CPU voltage too high, and it smoked. One of them has a broken CPU socket (and wouldn't POST anyway, before the scoket broke), and one refuses to POST despite known good RAM, CPU, and BIOS chip.
