8th - Spaghetti

Cheltenham, Glos.

The old abandoned and unloved PC towers in the corner of the room have been staring glumly at me and making me feel guilty for a while now, so I finally decided to do the honourable thing and dispatch them to the Great Component Recycler In The Sky

With trusty Phillips screwdriver in hand, I attacked the inners with aplomb, salvaging a brace of CD writers, a DVD writer, a floppy disk drive (hahahaha!!!), a couple of PSUs and a mile and a half of IDE cables...

...all that must be worth a bob or two, surely?

Love your "electronic" spaghetti, wonder what sauce you have? Looks like a creamy quattro formaggio! :)

Well if it's not worth anything else, it makes a great semi-abstract shot. Well done.

well done to untangle the components and salvage the good bits...and on the way make such an engaging image...that's the contemporary reality...stay plugged in through the wave of developments and changes...V

There's nothing like PC surgery. Well done and symbolic too with the German Colors.

You and my hubby would get along just GREAT! LOL Though, he tends to keep possession of everything. ;-)
