Electronics Project Boxes

[Chris Savage]

Whenever we go out shopping and my wife sees a Goodwill or Salvation Army, she has to stop. I take advantage of that to see if there are any vintage computers or hackable electronics. Over the years I have never found a single vintage computer at one of these places. I have found a handful of hackable items (clocks, etc). But today, I scored 14 electronics project enclosures for $2.28 each! I will post a video of my haul tomorrow. I've never had such luck before. Today was my day! More to come.

Nice.

I once found an HP Jornada 320lx Handheld Computer at a second-hand store near where we used to live. It was a lot of fun playing with that little thing. I should still have it, but have not seen it in years.



The screen did not look anywhere near this green. With the backlight turned on, it did look greenish, but not this bright.

My first laser printer (an old HP LaserJet) that cost $20 (in the early '90s,) at a Red White and Blue store. That thing lasted for many years of good printing.

I have also run across several other older computers, etc. Pittsburgh must just be a good area for second-hand electronics.

The Jornada, or the LaserJet? 

There is a guy who runs Doom on the hp360Lx (the next upgrade above my 320Lx (https://www.reddit.com/r/itrunsdoom/comments/1abqbfj/doomce_on_an_hp360lx_windows_ce_20/). Maybe someone could get Doom running on my earlier handheld, but not being a gamer, I never noticed it.

All 14 enclosures shown. There were two (2) each of a few.
