PRO TIP: WHERE TO FIND OLD MEDIA AND HARDWARE, OLD CRT MONITORS, ETC

i made a phenomenal discovery whilst dumpster diving/scouting new digs to scavenge and pick through about... 3 or 5 years ago...

the single best way to get any retro tech for free....

wait for it...

go in the trash.

specifically? 

tech recycling companies. anybody who does data destruction or hard drive disposal etc. mainly look for anything to do with tech recycling. 

i have found. COUNTLESS. so many that i dont know what to do with. in the GARBAGE. the trash!!!! its free. its the trash!!

hope this can help someone. 

also have had luck at value village and goodwill. as well as abandoned industrial park buildings. 

ps- 

best place to find such businesses with the fated tech trash is in weird industrial business parks. best of luck.
