Yup. Can't wait to see what I got!
Luthien says thanks by the way, and she's not being sarcastic either-she knows we might have a gold mine in that box!

Gratz, all! TGS strikes again! :santa:
:banana:
I'm looking forward to tons of tinkering and lots of clean-up. I'll also post some pictures of curiosity in action. :evil:
My goal is to bring at least one dead item back to life. :crossed:
I'll be able to mail out some tomorrow. I'm short on big enough boxes for it all
just wrap it all up in a bunch of duct tape and slap a mailing label on it. lol
I would be a lair if I said I haven't received some car parts that way. Wrap part in bubble wrap, then duct tape, then slap a shipping label on it. Shoddy, but it works.Quote:

The crap is in the mail!
woo hoo!!!
Got a call from my wife, a tad concerned about a box delivered with "The Great Satan" and pentagrams on it. LOL! Can't wait to get off work and see what's in it.
That's awesome.Quote:

Yay...finally!!!!! :D If someone asks, you can tell them you belong to the "TBCS modders cult" :P
EDIT: And that TGS is really The Great Satan...LOL
My Dremel, airbrush and laser cutter figure heavily in this cult. As does my kid always ending up dragging aluminum swarf into the house on his shoes.
You never pent-ed my box, TGS....
Hmmmm....
I don't remember. It is my trademark and all...
so, i walked in the house and this greeted me at the top of the stairs
so i had to open it and all this jumped out at me.
then i looked in the bottom, and what to my wondering eyes did appear, but the most awesome of awesomeness that could be.........
a 56k modem, lol.
thanks, there's a bunch of stuff in here that i actually have been thinking about purchasing. so after i find out if it works, hopefully i won
t have to shell out any dough.
Is that a Noctua NH-D14? That's some really nice crap!
Yeah man! 56k modem, eh? LOL
Delta Force: Black Hawk Down!
Still has my vote for the best sniping FPS out there. It's unfortunate it was ridden with hackers and Novalogic stopped supporting servers. All private servers now but still worth a shot... that game was amazing back in it's day.
That 56k modem could be worth money if you play your cards right. Make a funny listing on eBay with a creative description and donate whatever it sells for to a charity of yours or Satan's liking. If it doesn't catch on, take it apart and practice your soldering skills. :P
Scared my wife's grandmother to death, there's a box with pentagrams on it from the mail carrier.
Luthien snagged the controller as soon as I opened the box. She's playing Skyrim with it now. I just lost her to Skyrim.
Pics later, I'm currently seeing if everything works. So far, yes.
so, black hawk down is a fps? sweet. that gives me something to use this ridiculous video card for now that i finished necrovision. and yeah, it's a giant noctua something or other. don't know what model, but it's big.
It's the good one. The Noctua was mine, but I never used it, so I threw it in.
Quite the bag of crap. Some of it is truly crap. I mean, what the heck do I do with a floppy drive???
[IMG]IMAG1162 by Harrell.Thomas, on Flickr[/IMG]
USB Wifi Dongle and stand
Wifi Antenna
5 Port Switch
HDD to USB adapter (have one, but they're useful)
SD Card to SATA adapter I think?
A floppy drive... really?
NBA 2K9 (not a big sports fan, but what the hey...)
Wireless mouse (next modding victim, TYVM)
Nice case fan
A couple multi-card readers
A couple 110v/12v to USB power adapters
Powered USB hub
Wireless game controller (will hack that for MAME controller!)
USB Mini and Micro retractable cables (I've been needing another micro, TYVM!)
2GB laptop ram
1GB desktop ram
couple pairs of earbuds
gaming headset (not in pic)
SIIG PCI sound card (4 channel out, good for a small media player?)
and... a solder sucker (Thanks, needed one of those!)
Pretty mixed bag. Definitely worth the price of entry. Thanks TGS!
well, the 16g thumbdrive was not recognized by 3 different pcs. so it got thrown away. but i am really hopeful the cassette adapter works. i've actually been needing one of those.
What? No one else has any pictures to share?
I do.
I'm just waiting for my power supply to get here.
In all seriousness, it has been in the post office's hands for OVER A MONTH NOW.
Something's not right.
You got screwed

I still use a floppy for the occasional bios update or the like, though my newer boards can just use USB.
Fashionably late:
Annnnd...
An APPLE product from TGS?!
sweet, you got a modem too!
This box of crap just keeps giving and giving. I dragged out the box again today and found the wifi antenna. I've got a little Zotac mITX board for a mod I'm doing, and it needed an antenna. I'll also be using the media card reader from the box of crap. Thanks again TGS!
You know, I might do my own BoxO'Junk soon....
Not that I have anything new, but setting up a kiddie computer mod....
to echo tlharrel, i have my old roommate's computer to fix and upgrade and the ddr2 ram that was in my big box of satan crap will be used for the upgrade. so yeah, like herpes, this is the gift that keeps on giving. lol
