Re: What have you got lying around ?
Bloody hell Marky , you need a bout of spring cleaning.
I have a 11mbs wireless router several mobile phones a few 2.5" hard drives, the guts of several old pc's.
I am also considering what to do with a brand new o2 xda mini s, I just can't get on with it at all. Considering swapping/selling it for an ipod video if theres forum members out there interested?

Re: What have you got lying around ?
Until last weekend I had an old V.90 56K modem lying around that finally got chucked out.
Got some old 486 CPU under my bed and some old sticks of 8mb Ram from back in the day.
And also have an old 6GB hard drive that needs hooking up to see whats on there.
