Exploring a MASSIVE Retro Computer Warehouse!
Exploring a MASSIVE Retro Computer Warehouse!
No joke, this place is truly mind-blowing! Taking a tour of Computer Reset in Dallas, Texas. It’s a closed down vintage computer shop that’s been largely abandoned and has stayed relatively untouched for years. Enjoy the mountains of computer hardware and software.

All those keyboards!
I can hardly believe 40 years had passed since first IBM have shown their first PC. We made incredible progress, i’m impressed.
Computer Reset is very entertaining and valuable, but makes me think how much pollution will cause devices left there when everything is kind of sorted out (sent to Africa where they are burned…). Every piece of plastic was made of oil, heated with oil&coal, transported with oil, buldosed with oil, new building will be mostly built by using oil and so on.
Last decades have shown us nature is so disturbed we have to act right away. We are at a point where it is easy to pick one standard for most computers and stick to it for very long, beside repairing stuff and throwing it away like it happens with Apple. And there is no other way than going full nuclear, i’m for PWRs but my nerd soul, maybe yours too, wants to see MSRs coming online very very fast. Just like new computer discs, monitors, cards, games, etc 🙂
18:41 Servers on the left hand side .I know what tis is 🙂
Church of the MachineGod!
Reminds me of the tiny local place we got our first computer from (and had to take it back to a lot) seeing that racking. Man. 90’s independent pc stores
That place is a fire hazard and should be cleared by the fire marshal why don’t they just give the stuff away to people that would prevent a fire hazard
Hans, get ze uhaul
I literally watched this with my mouth dropped you lucky man ! Fuck I’d buy a huge warehouse get transport trucks and personnel to empty the whole place and others who would arrange hardware and all other bits in the warehouse accordingly then sell all on eBay and etc places ! Big money there there are fuck loads of collectors like u in the world ! This video gave me a big idea on making money
17:00
Definitely need to shut the place down and raze the building
This needs some love and organization.
I’m gonna have to go get me an X220.
14:45 my grandpa has these exact speakers
Kind of a shame everything is just scattered around and not displayed.
It would take a lot of work.
Looks like they just need moar room in general thou./
4:26. To quote the well known British TV series ‘Thunderbirds’ : "This is a job for International Rescue".
Husker du nor datamaskinene hadde grønn skjerm
?
Loved Fry’s!
I live <2 mils from the Aztec Temple store in Phoenix (the one from the Mr Robot show). It is a sad site now 🙁
I’d wager with all those old PC boards.. there’s over $1,000,000 worth of gold in those old computers..
Here’s the group for Computer Reset updates and volunteer work: https://www.facebook.com/groups/627459117730981/
And here’s an update video on the status of the place as of July 2020! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np7Xm6sjGG0
"megabytes of input"
18:17 them servers in the bottom right corner 🙂 and everything else on the videoOMG OMG OMG OMG
The TV show "Hoarders" called … it wants its episode back LOL
Super video! More old PC.
Man, this was 2 years ago? I still remember the story about trying to get into Computer Reset like it was yesterday.
Actually I never dreamed of having a retro PC until I started watching these videos on Youtube. Now I really miss my first PC from 1996.
"babe come over"
"I can’t I’m injured"
"This computer shop is being demolished in 3 days"
That would take me years to organise, if you want me too ill do it though
uhhh i wanna go there so freakin baddd
13:43 to go to the warehouse
18:31 according to the wayback machine the website was still up in 2017 ! even tho it was horribly out of date
if you go there next time can you check for me pls
I am trying to imagine what the value of all of this would be with the original RRP prices of this equipment?
Great video
I wish i could visit Computer Reset
this is amazing luck you
ooo myyy GOOOOODDD this a LOOOOOT COMPONENT, aawesoomeee… i love it
Was it not possible to buy the whole lot? Would be endless exploring and worth a lot to make money back.
Wow this turned out to be the trip of a lifetime!
Bondi Blue iMac at 20:22 (plus another one below it, which may have been titanium model which is very rare!).
And you went straight past a life-size Robbie The Robot and didn’t even pause!!!
Shows you next time maybe wake up?
Var det også kropselig hacket att jeg skulle trykke data på Mac data marskiner før internett
Vorfor har jeg sitti og programert forselige data produsenter data marskiner laget spill ut fra ingenting
Jeg kommer med ider og så funker det og så blir det spill av det vorfor?
wow i wish i was there like that a can choose my first retro pc i wish i ad the ibm palm
Who else would love to organise the hell out computer reset? I sincerely hope that 99% of it gets reused by enthusiasts, I have no time for scrap collectors.
I work at a similar place actually, company I work for recycles computers, anything that can’t really be resold is sent for scrap or for free reign to the employees.
eBay sellers dream
I loved digging through rummage sales in the mid 2000s for vintage Macintosh stuff. Vintage PCs truly were my hobby back then, and watching this video (and your entire channel) makes me really miss it. This place is nothing short of awesome.
Everything you’ve shown reminds me of a time when personal computers still felt "new and exciting". Things were evolving so rapidly, it seems like every time you booted up a machine, or dialed in with your modem, you were making new discoveries. I’m not sure when computers stopped feeling that way (at least for me), but the chase of that "new and exciting" feelings I got with machines of the past is why I love this retro hardware so much.
Honestly, my dream is to get an old 64 like or equivalent Pc and a terminal As well as various software that work with it. Then, I just want to play a MUD with someone on there. I am not certain if you can somehow convert it to modern net browsing but that would be interesting. Oh well, maybe next life.
15:40 ahhh I remember the ol’coke drive…
Such exaltation, you truly love old
