looks like you need a few pointers

first put the hardware on as straight as possible, do a few preview scans to line it up.
then use a suitably high dpi and quality setting, scan uncompressed and compress it later on.
Oh and make sure the hardware is sitting flat, if its at a angle its gonna look weird, and remember a scan works most effective when the object is close as possible to the glass (ie its designed for paper), and try to make sure theres a white background behind it.
Once you got it on your computer make sure you crop it down! And rotate it if its still out by a bit.
And finally Compress it down to jpeg at high quality settings, then post to /hr/ :)

btw pictured is a HDD which i think i did at 1200 dpi

I don't want to start a thread about this, i'll probably be saged to hell and banned for it.
So may i ask, what scanner do you recommend?
budget less than $US80 preferably, but any suggestions will do.

An 80 buck budget? What are you, 12? You will never find a scanner for $80 US, unless it is broken beyond repair.

I got a Umax Astra 4600 for $50
2400 dpi. it's totally decent.

And what are you? We can get new scanners starting at $40 here. An 80-dollar piece would be already good.

Where are you? I've never paid more than $40 for a scanner, and I haven't had one stop working yet.

The Problem with the cheap scanners is that most of them don't descreen worth a damm. So if you are wanting to do mags or picture books at hr you get moire.
