E-Waste
This weeks post is about E-waste, which is all about the disposal of electronic devices or hardware called E-waste. It can also be defined as the disposal of telecommunication equipment.Sure it sounds like an everyday thing but it is seriously becoming a major environment issue.Every where you go people are throwing away old computer monitors, key boards, scanners,and other electronic equipment.Disregarded electronic waste is accumulating at an alarming rate world wide.
According to Environment Canada,Canadians threw out an estimated 167,000 tonnes of E-waste in 2002 and the amount was estimated to increase by 2010 to about 206,000 tonnes. Disposal of electronic equipment should not be a problem normally, but the thing is that most of them contain harmful substances that are very dangerous to the environment. A major example is the computer monitor which contain cathode rays that use lead oxide. Another cause leads to Moore's law which was made by one of the founders of Intel Gordon Moore, which says that the number of transistors and resistors placed in a computer chip would double every year with proportional increase in the computing power and a decrease in cost this is also a cause because the rate at which computers become obsolete is increasing and the rate at which people throw or dispose of computer parts is increasing and instead of people buying new parts people throw away their computer parts. The worst part of all of this is that a majority of the worlds population are unaware of the situation this is also a cause because those that are unaware will keep on diposing of these E-wastes without realy knowing that what they are doing is very dangerous to the society.

Hey Henry
Ive searched for the parts that i think you should get, but I wasn't not quite sure if you would like or want the parts i got for Intel so I got the parts for both Intel and AMD. Both the Intel and AMD processors came with heat sinks so i don't think it will be necessary for you to get a heat sink although if your interested you could probably get one with a universal socket from www.frozencpu.com but like i said before i don't think that would be necessary.
For the AMD parts the features of the motherboard are: ASUS M2A-VM HDMI Socket AM2 AMD 690G Chip set ATI X1250 GPU Dual VGA 6-CH Audio Fire wire Dual Channel DDR2 800/667/533 Micro ATX i found at www.canadacomputers.com for $80.99
For the processor:AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Dual Core Processor Socket AM2 2.6GHZ Retail Black Box No HSF Unlocked i found it at www.pricecanada.com for $87.99
For the RAM: OCZ Platinum XTC REV.2 PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800 CL4-4-4-15 240PIN DIMM Dual Channel Memory Kit at www.ncix.com for $34.99
For the the featuers of the Intel Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 Dual Core Processor LGA775 Conroe 2.2GHZ 800FSB 2MB Retail i found it at www.ncix.com for $139.15
For the motherboard: Intel D946GZIS mATX LGA775 Conroe 946GZ DDR2 PCI-E16 PCI-E1 2PCI Video GMA3000 SATA2 Motherboard also from www.ncix.com for $106.21
For the RAM: OCZ Platinum XTC REV.2 PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800 CL4-4-4-15 240PIN DIMM Dual Channel Memory Kit at www.ncix.com fro $34.99
