Heh heh...I just found that funny
I found parts to desks in the Office Max dumpster and the neighboring dumpster, but nothing complete. Did you find that desk all in one piece, Stoots?

My girlfriend works at a Drs office near a locla hospital and she noticed 3 PALLETS OF COMPUTERS AND MONITORS! So she told me, I drove down and scoped it out. Couldnt get in close becuase their were alot of people. So I call tonight from the parking lot and this snotty lady answers and is all rude. I nicely ask her if they are going to throw them out and if they mind if I take one for a school project. She tells me they are not for me and she reminded me this was the hospital after all and hung up.
Sooo I gave them a chance..Tomorrow night im taking a friend or two and doing it heist style. Roll up fast, Jump out, swing open the doors, pitch in as many as we can, close doors, jump in and speed off. Catch me now rent-a-pig!
Ill give you all a run down on it in a couple nights, maybe pics. Wish me luck guys!

Oh, I can take a picture if any skeptics need proof.
Holy shit I can't believe you read all through the pages! I understand how addicting it can get though, reading about what people find. Not nearly as addicting as dumpster diving itself though. I've been going out nearly every night now. A lot of times I don't find much of anything, but it's like gambling - there MIGHT be something there so I just have to look. I just wish we had a dding forum here instead of this hugeass thread. Welcome to the forums and enjoy your stay.Originally posted by cyber_lord
just read all of the 179 pages. I have thought about dding before. But now, tonights the night. I'll hope to have pics of the findings in the next couple days.

Went diving a bit tonight. We cruised to another Best Buy, Circuit City, and Office Depot, and they had a compactor, a compactor, and a locked dumpster (we pried up the side a bit and peeked in but there was nothing interesting). Drove around for at least half an hour looking for stupid CompUSA...next time we will have to Mapquest it. At the end of the night we hit up our favorite location, OfficeMax, and scored a box of DVD+R discs (FujiFilm) valued at $25. We have a you-get-what-you-grab policy, so he got 3 discs while I got 7. They are all still shrink-wrapped in their jewel cases. Next time CompUSA is making the list .

Do office building dumpsters really pay off? Like big offices (Corporations) or smaller (10-20 person offices)?

Not dumpster diving, but off the street... 2 (two) cd duplicators.
Specs: PIII 750mhz socket 370
EPoX EP-3VCA (apollo kt133a)
64mb PC100
20gb Quantum Fireball Plus
4 "initio" ultraSCSI cards
12 SCSI CD-RW's, 12x10x32
1 ISA bootrom controller thingamashit
2 power supplies, 1 ATX and 1 AT
4 sunon fans
This first one seems to be fully functional. I'm assuming the other one works also, but I havent picked it up from my friend yet. The guy knows nothing about computers, but he knows enough to take stuff he finds on the street and call me up
I'm gonna part one out, and keep the other...

Oh, and whoever said they are worthless, is a homo.
If they work, how could they be worthless?Originally posted by Talon Blackrazor
Do you lack basic reading skills? I said they were worthless in a production environment.
You have two towers built with obsolete drives on an expensive obsolete interface on an obsolete platform.
I'm sure they're cool to you and your friends, but to a professional they're so much garbage; that's why they were thrown out.
