About

Hello there and welcome to my channel. I make videos about tech and electrical engineering. I'm not officially trained in either of these topics, but I do know a thing or two. Maybe I can teach some of you something, but I definitely know that you can teach me something! Please do leave constructive criticisms and corrections in my comments, it helps me make better content. I hope you stick around and maybe learn something from my videos. I'll see you all next time, goodbye.

Video Description

Hello there and welcome to my video. In today's video, I'll be going over what I, as a maker/hobbyist, like to salvage from old, dead computer parts that are going to be sold off as scrap to a recycler. Music, in order: Beyond - Patrick Patrikios Papov - Yung Logos Sunny Days - Anno Domini Beats
