In need of free computer power cables

opens his computer bits drawer and pulls out the bag of power cables

I have: two black ones, one white/cream one, and one black one for US sockets.

Can be yours for the low low price of free!

I knew I saved them for a reason.

Same here, build PCs as a hobby so ended up with loads of excess power and data cables.

I think mine are breeding. I knew I shouldn’t have left male and female cables in the same box….

Ahh…it’s a sign of age. A man is not a man until he has his “bag o wires”.

I have a big box of cables – power cables, power cable extensions, ethernet leads (twisted pair AND straight through), SCSI cables, IDE cables….

I think I also have a 9600 baud modem somewhere…..

If I could add tags I’d add:

Does giving up my cables reduce my manliness? I’ve been greatly reducing everything in my bits drawer.

I did consider making some kind of techno art out of all the old sticks of ram and odd circuit boards. then realised that’d be sad and far too nerdy, so gave up on that one in favour of selling as much as I could on ebay for the odd pound.

Quite why a man in the USA wanted my 15 year old motherboard I don’t know… but I got £1 for it! (plus p+p).
