Hi folks!
I'm making CPU keychains again, but ran out of parts again (my 486 broke off the loop and shattered upon hitting the ground), so I'm looking for anyone who has broken cpus or any other cool parts (small simms, bios chips, etc). I'm trying to avoid spending a lot on this so i'll pay you say shipping plus a buck or two for it? Its better to recycle than to throw this stuff away anyways...
Thanks a ton!

What exactly are you looking for? small simms are pretty self-explanatory, I guess, but would you be taking old motherboards and extracting the chips from them? Are you just looking for socketed chips (like older BIOS chips), or would you be unsoldering chips from old motherboards also?

Can you post a pic of what your keychains look like?

Thanks!

I would like a pic as well. I have some old CPUs I kept from some old 601 based macs we tossed out years ago. They do nothing but collect dust.
