Old processor wanted

[Jeremy Rundle]

I don't know if anyone is able to help me.

My son (and me) is Autistic (proof available), we are both into photography, old film cameras, and we want to do some close up photography.

Please can anyone suggest where we may get an old, non working CPU from, preferably with any cover removed that shows the actual inside of the chip.

Is there also anywhere we may get old, non working chips of many different ones, for example my son wants to do a photograph "Eggs and chips"

Any help would be very much appreciate.

Thank you Jeremy R

Got old PC's with Pentiums and Core 2 Duos (from memory) sitting on a pallet at work. Can remove a few old chips and throw in the post if interested?

How can my son pay you for them please

I have a couple of old Athlon processors, you are more than welcome to have one. It will come as the chip is, i dont have the tools to remove the cover.

Edit:- im more than willing to cover cost of postage to get around the forum rules.

How do I contact you please [email protected]

I want to sincerely thank (my son is writing to him) ChrisC

Today Stephen received a letter and a chip from this kind chap, what an amazing forum and what a lovely thing to do for my Autistic son.

Stephen has spent the past hour carefully cutting into the chip, now all he needs to do is find a safe way to remove the metal top

THANK YOU for your very appreciated help
