RE: You Can Blame Bethesda For This ...
Yeah, I love taking the PC apart and upgrading it. You'd be amazed how many functional parts I've gotten from the dump's recycling pile! (And how many people just toss their hard drives out without wiping them.) I usually stick with older PC's though, because the pleasure of putting them together is greater than the pleasure I get from playing the latest games.
But that latest Fallout does look tempting. And it would be cool to turn on all the fancy shaders in Minecraft...
My Mum's attic is full of the last fourteen years of computer parts - wires, hard drives, disk drives the alot. I wasn't exaggerating when I said I was an awful hoarder.
That sounds like an impressive stash! I think my mom's attic still has the original IBM PC and a dot matrix printer.
I've been on a minimalism kick lately and just unloaded a Pentium-4 tower, a Sony Vaio from 2000, and a 12 year old MacBook at the dump. Seemed a shame, since everything but the MacBook still worked fine.
