Well on my way home from class I found an illegal ewaste dump site. I scrap almost every junker there and not one 3dfx card  Tongue It took me 2 hours to scrap them but the interesting thing quite a bit of the hardware was still working.  Shocked

All of the hard drive were shot except for a Conner ct210 that booted win95  Cheesy

8 of the boards still worked despite all the below.

Bird shit
Dog urine
Leaves
other organic matter
Rat shit
Decaying cardboard (goo at this stage
Rain and 40c weather
In one box some snails took residence to escape the heat.

So I got 8 cyrix cpus and two p55c mmx cpus two of which were 233  Wink

The ram was completely rusted away. The cases were true in the word rust buckets as they were rotted.

Well in the end I got 15 working Trident cards and cool thing in they were made in the us  Cool

Update...

6x dead hard drives thus far not all pulled
1x dead board (rusted)
8x dead cards one artifacts

Update

9x dead drives

3x dead boards 2x possible recovery
