It's one of those old computer games we play before in the 90's - TETRIS. Fastforward to the 20th century, the Japanese has turned it into a live game known as the HUMAN TETRIS.
Watch this video from YouTube and have a good LAUGH!
Some people collect stamps, some insects and butterflies, others vintage cars. Me as a computer freak I collect computer hardware. I get very close and personally involved with every motherboard, video card, controller or hard drive that comes through my hands, and if for any reason the time comes for the component to enter the Valley of the Dead, I mourn. My wifey could tell stories of cabinets full of 'junk' that seems to be completely useless, but I could do the same about her clothes and shoes
Some of the treasures that I keep and don't have the heart to throw away:
IBM DAQA-33240 - 3.2GB IDE HDD, 5400rpm, 96kB buffer, 9.4ms seek time
The top IDE hard drive of its time in capacity, performance and price - these days the capacity is barely enough for Windows XP installation, not mentioning the low rpm's, cache and pio-only mode. Still, it runs perfectly. My piece was manufactured in october 1997 - last month celebrated 10 years in service.
Purchase price in 11/1997 - $430

ASUS V3400TNT/TV with 16MB DRAM
The top graphics card of its time including the 3dfx VooDoo magic. I obtained it 2 weeks before the next generation (TNT2) arrived to the market and the price dropped. After only few months the small and annoyingly unreliable and noisy 40×40mm fan died and the card works happily without it ever since. Not powerful enough for current games of course, but perfect for regular use in older PC's.
Purchase price in 04/1998 - $390
