    A massive pile of PSUs in York

    I was quite surprised to walk past St Marys church in York when we were there a few weekends ago and see this in there:





    It's part of an installation called "Flood" By Susan Stockwell.

    Yep - a massive, massive pile of old computer PSUs.

    Computer 'parts' *sigh*
    'Sifted through' = saw what they could nick & sell off.

    Methinks a wander down to St Marys is in order tomorrow. Might as well check out what they did to the Yorkshire Museum while I'm at it. Thanks for the heads up
