hmm actually me uncle asked me if I want his 10" netbook from like 2012. But I said I'm gonna buy a better netbook. Now thinking... Look at all these pre-2017 macbooks! I mean we could do a cluster!

Where do you think all the aforementioned hard drives came from? Lol. Its just that so many of the other parts are proprietary/old that I can't mix-and-match to make something more useful. For a breif period, I had four separate working desktops, and not one had a standard power supply or mobo. I swear all of that should be made illegal.
