I would love to see this place honored in a retro video game! You explore an abandoned warehouse in a back alley of a futuristic city aglow with pink and purple neon. Inside the warehouse you find mounds of old computers, discarded by your high-tech but materialistic society. You hear something skittering behind you and draw your laser blaster, but there's nothing there. Suddenly, a creature tries to crawl up your leg and you kill it, only to find out that's it's not an animal but a bug made from discarded electronics. You hear scratching all around you, and to your horror, a thousand red LEDs are staring at you from the crevices of the stacks of computers. Another creature emerges, it's head an old CRT monitor emitting an eerie green glow. You realize the whole place is infested with computer monsters and you must fight your way through to the exit!

went there myself a couple of days ago. really wish i could have gone during the beginning. and trust me, if you haven't gone yet, GO! a flat rate of $150 dollars to go and take whatever you want is an incredibly good deal and its an absolute rite of passage to visit even for a short couple of hours! even though 60 percent and the good stuff was gone already, i found a bunch of stuff that i was looking for. they are still bringing down stuff from the 3rd level shelving in the warehouse section so there is still new stuff to be uncovered! and LGRs couple of very well made videos on Computer Reset dont do the place justice! its one thing seeing the place in a video and then actually going there and seeing it for yourself. Absolutely mind-blowing and fun!

If we realize how many computers are thrown away every day as people will always need to buy a new one sooner or later, it's not so crazy someone has hoarded so much stuff. Many people will happily donate all their electronic stuff once it's become obsolete, specially if you pick it up. I do repairs and computer general maintenance since mid 90s when I easy a teen and learned most stuff by myself and by helping in a local computer repair shop. It's pretty common people ask me if I have interest on taking away their old stuff. Once a guy who owns a real estate office, gave me 9 computers and 5 monitors and a bunch of keyboards, mouse and other peripherals.

As elated as I am watching you rummage around finding treasure at every turn, I can't help feeling very, very sad.
As the child of an antiques collector, it's just an upside down world for me to realize that unlike furniture and other antiquities that are cherrished, old tech is relegated to piles of junk on a regular basis. Not ever increasing in value, but losing it almost instantly when the new model comes out. Progress moving too fast for the old business model of warehousing stock to be ready for the next rush on something that will never see the light of day again. It just hurts my sense of history.

You must have felt like Howard Carter discovering the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922.
-I was struck dumb with amazement, and when Lord Carnarvon unable to stand in suspense any longer inquired anxiously -Can you see anything? -, it was all I could do to get out the words -Yes, wonderful things-.
-We were totally unprepared for such a large quantity of visitors, and in view of the preservation of the antiquities they being very crowded and in poor preservation, we were obliged to refuse admission until some preparation was made to safeguard the objects. -

wish I didn't live on the other side of the planet. We just don't have anything remotely like that here. We have no stores that sell old computer stuff at all. Even the computer recyclers won't touch anything that's more than a few years old because they can't move it fast enough, so everything they sell is still practically brand new. Sometimes we can get lucky online or buy stuff from private hoarders through word of mouth, but for the most part our only choice is to buy things online from other countries if we want anything remotely old

When I heard you say prices were fair for pc enthusiasts but to much for scrappers I twitched a lil. I despise scrappers, they destroy history and machines that if restored can be sold for over 100$ but instead they rip out the copper for around 1 to 2 dollars per pc. I watched on destroy an amd quad core back when I was on a dual core, told him he could sell it on ebay for at that time an easy 100$ instead he ripped off all the pins and scoffed and said but its 30 cents now.

Funny. That version of OS2 was probably the version that Microsoft helped write for IBM.
I think the reason DOS 4. 01 was skipped was because MS quickly came out with 5. 0 within a short period of time. Plus I'm sure that 4. 01 was perhaps buggy as I think that was the first -multi tasking- version of DOS if I remember correctly, or at least the first mass produced/released version of DOS that supported multi-tasking, so it may have been bug ridden.

There is a place like this(much smaller though) old computers (Towers, keyboards, monitors, speakers etc) stacked to the ceiling in a concrete room. Exiled from time itself. Concealed from the memory of men. Hidden away by God himself.
It feels like the repository for all of H-burgs discarded or forgotten computers and seemingly no one knows about it/cares about it.

My jaw dropped when I saw some of what was there, and I really, really wished I had been there when you were. until you mentioned all the rat urine and droppings. Then, I felt better about not being there, LOL. Still, geez, I would've quickly picked up a PCjr and one or two 1970's terminal or two. Probably some drives as well, and definitely a bunch of PCjr accessories. Still. all that filth. yikes!
