 +====== Hacklab Second-hand Shop a.k.a Bonk ======
  
 +
 +Bonkki is slang word which translates to //"An item that is thrown away as unwanted or non-functional, but somebody other sees value in it.//" Word originates from radio amateur jargon and from [[https://bonkcentre.fi/en |Alvar Gullichens art]]
 +
 +Located in the Lab premises, there is Hacklab shop trolley where members can buy second hand stuff. Stuff is separated on the three trolley shelves: 1-5 euros, >5 euros, and >10 euros. Payment can be made to the cash box found in the Lab kitchen.
 +
 +The funds will be used for the benefit of the community.
 +
 +

Loose components (power supplies, hard drives, motherboards, GPUs, coolers...), assuming they're functional and in a condition where they can be installed without compatibility issues (e.g. mobos and CPUs preferably in pairs).
