The "too much crap" thread - who else has this problem?
|

it seems for every part I install on my car, I take another two off , receive one in the mail and scavenge another from wreckers.
As a result I have piles of stuff lying around, filling up my garage, shed, and bedroom!
does anyone else have this sort of problem? (and have to explain to people who enter your bedroom why there are boxes filled with "weird metal things" everywhere)?

Hi,
I haven't got the luxury or room to have cars bits and pieces around the place - except a few spare bits for the old girl. However I got two rooms and a workshop full of old museum computers and electronic shit. Next council clean up I'm gonna bite the bullet and toss some of this crap out.

Not yet you don't. Let me know what you have. I'm a collector of old computer stuff. Currently my focus is on CPU's (any platform or controlling device).

i got a 1 1/2 car garage, carport and my bedroom and there is stuff everywhere aswell... my parents are going nuts over all the stuff and what spins them out even more is that i am continually buying more stuff and storing it 
i think its a normal thing IMHO especially when your into cars and projects... hell i got that must stuff that there is no more room and i am starting to store things in my daily driver, my spare TA22 and my project TA22 
i got stuff on benches, under benches and every little crevis i can find... the funny thing is that i will want something in 6 months and still know exactly where it is UNLESS someone comes and moves it and then i got nuts looking for it
if my parents didnt have things to store i recon i would own the garage and wouldnt let anyone near it

Yup, we got the same problem, but its mainly fibreglass panels laying around here... they start in the garage, down both sides of the house, in the backyard behind the cars, down the sides of the cars.. the front room, the kinda dining room, my new metal hatch is even sleeping in the double bed in the spare room upstairs....

TRUE as said !
Like a sence from "The Castle"
You do have admit to get the Corolla out you have to move the soarer so that you can move the corona then move the camry but not before you move the supra then you can move AW11 MR2 then its the celicas turn then you can move the hilux, HiAce, LiteAce, Surf, LandCruiser, SW20 MR2, AE86 Sprinter and then you'll be able to get the corolla out but till after the Altessa's moved !
Damn it now i don't remember what i was going on about !

CPU's, eh? On the board or just standalone CPUs?
I checked on the weekend. As far as standalones, I got a number of 8080, 8085, 8088, 8086, 6800, 6802, 6809, 6502, 6504, 2650, 9900, SC/MP, 68000, 68008 and Z80 chips. Also got all the various peripheral chips, EPROM, dynamic and static RAMs, and system chips to make complete systems out of the above processors. A number of these devices are ceramic, which the chip collectors seem to love.
If you're talking about Pentiums, then most of mine are in systems - P60, P75, P90, P133, and P166 machines. Also got a number of 286, 386 and 486 machines.
Other stuff is Tallgrass tape/disk units, some monitors, HP plotter, few old dot-matrix printers and other assorted stuff, as well as numerous SBC (Intel Multibus, Motorola MicroModule)and other development systems.

not only do i collect parts but i wash my hands in grease and oil over 20 times a day and i have an abnormal liking of the smell of WD-40 brand of water dispersant.
ohh yeah, my left hand is constantly in a anti-clockwise 'undoing a bolt with a spanner' motion, and i sometimes like to singe my testicle hairs on a red hot exhaust manifold.
*CRIES* PLEASE DONT JUDGE ME!!!!!!! I WAS ONCE LIKE YOU!!!!
Greg whats your diagnosis?

is good to collect big heavy stuff now and then - as there's nothing quite as aurally impressive as chucking heavy cast-iron objects into an empty "scrap steel in here" container at a transfer station.
kaboooooommm.....
The willawong station is great for this - enourmous hall, lots of hard, flat surfaces to reflect sound, large shipping-container-sized bins lining the edges for various kinds of recyclable metal scrap, workers lazy enough to let us idiots throw, not tip, the iron heads (3 in total) into the bins and then enjoying the boom and resulting echo.
... quite childish really... up there with blowing up letterboxes...

not childish at all, we have fun at my work doing this, we have to break any old heads/cams/cranks that are too FUBAR'd for even us to fix, imaging throwing at 1m long cam at the ground till it breaks, and it part of our job, and belting the fuck out of commodore V6 heads with a dirty big hammer till they smash

I have way too much shit, and thats after I threw some out. And that just at the workshop. I'm always randomly finding stuff whenever I "clean up". As well as that stuff, there is random shit lying around my bedroom, computer room and backyard shed.
Oh, and the Celica is a mobile storage shed.

ahaha i hear ya at my work if somethings well and truly screwed or is covered by warrenty we have to totally destroy it so its no salvageable ( i.e. so no1 knicks it out of the bin ) who wants to fix the car when its way more fun to smash it to bits

Oh yea. All of those CPU's sound great. And I'll take any brand. IBM, motorola, TI, Kingston, IIT, whatever, I've got a multi-tabbed spreadsheet for a reason to keep my collection listed.
Onboard or not, doesn't really matter. And as for pentium, I've got most of the pentium era stuff. But I'm always open to more socket 4 things like the CPU's and motherboards. The only other pentium labelled things I'm after would be the rarer things like PII overdrives for socket8, laptop CPU's and xeon's but I don't expect you to have any of those things just laying around.

I have been moving all the stuff out of my parents garage into my own after moving out.
I must have made a dozen trips with cardboard boxes full of crap over the last month, and I'm still picking things up from various sources, and getting bits in the mail.
Me thinks a garage sale is on the cards after the next conversion is completed (That means mine, damo's, and franks. Prolly peters too, not sure about that one)
