I filled 3 full sized dumpsters this weekend, tossing Stuff out. Next weekend I have to move the machines out of the warehouse. Sigh

Then I get to start cutting all of the pallets up and disposing of them too.

Don't bother keeping steppers. I had boxes of them, until I need one. And couldn't get a single one to work with my driver chip. And quite frankly, servos are a hell of a lot easier to use. So, I tossed them all.

And when you salvage sensors, keep the bracket you found them in - it makes attaching them to your projects easier.

Vacuum tubes. Particularly replacements for my Tek 545 o'scope.

Also, a few original IBM PC cases, power supplies and disk drive faces.

I already built one, but some day, I've got to stick a top of the line multi-processor motherboard into another one and take it to a Linux bootfest.

actually, do you not need a top of the line motherboard/cpu to run linux, it is very forgiving of crappy hardware.
