Free Geek Minneapolis Tour

As an avid retro computer guy and gamer, I always wanted to visit the Free Geek location nearest to me in Minneapolis, MN. I stopped by there last November (2019) and while the footage I took was non-invasive and short, I think it gives one a sense of the scale of the operation there. I was not able to film in the main disassembly and sorting rooms, much to my disappointment, but I can say that the amount of older (and some not all that old) computers that arrived and were torn apart for components and base metals was impressive. Several very popular YouTubers have posted long detailed videos of the Free Geek operations, but I thought maybe some of you would be interested in how the experience is for a guy walking in off the street. Bonus footage at the end as I was allowed the use the “crusher“ to physically destroy a standard hard drive 😍
