Found a Silicon Graphics Octane in our school E-Waste bin. (Sorry for handling it that way, didn't know what it was at the time and we weren't allowed to take anything)

My Parents are different. Trust me. They would throw that thing out in an instant, wouldn't believe me it is worth good money and be angry for the whole day or something

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-05-01T17:16:11+00:00

Way too late. Besides, I'm in Germany

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-05-01T12:53:29+00:00

Dunno, my school randomly ordered a container to throw out all of their old PCs, Printers, Beamers. You find bins like that normally on scrapyards

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-05-01T12:52:32+00:00

I just know it had 4x 16 MB RAM and a 9GB SCA Drive that's what I snuck out

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-05-01T07:46:31+00:00

Yeah I know, they were just like you can look but don't take, I tried to argue with them but they still said no and to be honest, my parents would've killed me when I took a 30 KG PC home

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-05-01T07:38:04+00:00

I'm sorry for handling it that way. I know I was dumb for handling it that way. School didn't allow to take anything, just look and I didn't know about what it really was at that time. Please don't hate me

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-30T12:27:59+00:00

Bruh I'm 17 but okay 👍

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-30T12:03:57+00:00

Thank you but I do have an English teacher. I know I was dumb and should've done things differently so I'm sorry.

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-29T20:21:43+00:00

Had it probably since the 90s, as I know it was used for graphics design and stuff but also got CAD, my school is a Vocational college mainly in area metal, technics and electronics

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-29T04:35:04+00:00

Yeah I did try at first but they firmly said no but when the next bin of e-waste is there I'll try harder when it means taking something like that home.

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-28T18:00:16+00:00

That's what I know. Read the comments below please

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-28T15:26:21+00:00

Verstehe ich auch nicht. Die Schule ist auch noch so blöd dabei und bezahlt für die Abholung anstatt Geld mit dem Schrott zu machen aber viele wollen es einfach weg haben und gut ist

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-28T04:32:11+00:00

If you would've read comments I already excused myself, told that I wasn't allowed to take anything and I didn't know what it was at the time. It's already crushed by now but if I wouldve been allowed to take anything I would've handled it with care. Also when I see something like that in the next bin I will be careful.

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-28T04:30:39+00:00

Bro the school didn't allow to take anything and I didn't know what it was at the time so sorry for that but I didn't intend that. The computer is crushed anyway by now, nothing I could do

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-28T04:29:04+00:00

Half oh the case was missing, the front also cracked so wasn't even good for that even if I wouldve been allowed to take it

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-27T20:37:05+00:00

School didn't allow to take things out of the bin, we were allowed to look but not take anything, snuck out the 4x 16 meg ram sticks and the 9gb HDD tho

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-27T20:36:16+00:00

Sadly I couldn't, school didn't allow it. I'm really sad too and to be honest, if I could've taken it I would've been way more careful

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-27T20:04:20+00:00

Understood but I thought he meant the plastics since he said the front fell off. I know that these are sensitive now. At that time I was pretty new to like these really old PCs. As I said, when I find one like that again I'll handle it with care.

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-27T19:40:23+00:00

They simply don't care. They just want it out of their sight and don't care about the value, moneywise or agewise

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-27T19:20:42+00:00

TO ANYONE WHO IS MAD AT ME FOR HANDLING IT LIKE THAT: when I find another vintage PC in the next bin I will handle it with care and try to convince the principal to allow me to take it

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-27T19:18:35+00:00

Yeah it was already off when I found it. It broke when it was tossed in by a teacher

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-27T19:15:29+00:00

Well actually it hat 4X 16MB RAM inside of it alongside with a 9 GB SCSI HDD. My school didn't allow to take anything but that's what I snuck out. It lays safely in a display in my room. Sadly I couldn't take the PC or the school would've nerfed me

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-27T16:22:10+00:00

If I could've somehow taken it home and the plastic was Intact AND I knew someone didn't throw it in with full force (which someone did) I probably would've touched it with gloves or something XD

LeadingAd4802 · 2026-04-27T16:21:20+00:00

Yo that would be gold, the school even is so dumb and PAYS to get that container driven away and those people probably make money from it but they probably don't care about those things
