All 3 HDMI ports are broken. That's why it was gotten rid of, so I chain adapters with cables I have. Works like a gem. All of my monitors are upcycled. There is so much e-waste because people don't use adapters.

Asking friends and family for old tech is a gold mine too, especially if you can pop old hard drives in a case for them. Most people wont touch that stuff.

wow that's one hell of a dumpster find! even with those ports dead, a 3070 is worth like what, half a kidney?

nice!
