Show Notes
In this episode, Herman and Corn tackle the "Rampocalypse"—the skyrocketing cost of consumer memory—and reveal a secret weapon for tech enthusiasts: the enterprise secondary market. They dive into why massive data centers retire perfectly functional hardware, how ITAD companies bridge the gap to consumers, and the technical "gotchas" like noise and power draw. Whether you're looking for cheap 10Gb networking or a powerful home server, this guide explains how to upcycle professional gear without breaking the bank.
