Tech archeology: Exploring mysterious computer parts

Please see pinned comment for updates! Who doesn't love a good rummage through a box of random PC parts? In today's video I do just that -- I dig into this filled box of computer parts looking for interesting and unknown cards. Part 2 will be next week when I dig seeing if I can get any of the cards working.

Part 1: This part!
Part 2: Coming soon
