Because every time I open the door shit falls on me. It seems to be more of just a place everyone threw their junk. I have found jewels like a serial switch box(manual), mice without scroll wheels, and what I can only guess is a PS/1 keyboard.
Also, more power cords than you can shake a stick at, because those apparently have never chained through the years.

That's like the bottom two drawers underneath my TV. Old consoles and computer parts and shit.

Make power cable nunchakus
It would be like 200' long. >.>
lol. I don't mind old consoles and stuff, but no one has used this stuff in 15+ years. Hell, they don't even make computers with the ports for them anymore.That's like the bottom two drawers underneath my TV. Old consoles and computer parts and shit.

I remember building my own computer from parts I stole from my school. >.> They were just tossing out all their old units and had them piled up behind the school, in the car park. Every day I came home with a different part in my bag xD

That's not stealing, that's recycling.

Well yes, but technically since I didn't have permission it was stealing.
It didn't even work in the end. >.>

That sucks. The first computer I build didn't work either.
Have you made your own since then, or just gotten prebuilt ones?

Prebuilt. I did build my own a while ago from options on a website, but I don't particularly like desktops that much. My current laptop is pretty awesome, and I can take it around the house, which is a bonus. The only downside currently is I don't have a mouse for it, so I can't play FPS games.

Get a wireless mouse and commence the pewpewing.
If you ever decide to get another desktop, post here and we'll help you build one.

I need space for it really ._. And a chair. Most important part really.
I did have a USB mouse but the actual USB bent slightly, and doesn't fit into the port anymore. I'll probably just end up getting another of the same brand, since it was cheap and easy to use.

Yeah, I can see how that'd be a problem.
Hit it with a hammer. It's already broken, things can only get better. >.>

That makes me think I should try that with my phone, too. As the same issue presents itself with my charger cable.
