Driving through town and saw next to the curb a white dell computer case. Me always picking up halfway working/dead computers for spare parts or to tinker with.
I stopped, guy was out front watering his lawn so before I picked it up I figured ask him why he was getting rid of it. Apparently it doesnt start up anymore and doesnt work. I didn't press the issue about asking what was wrong with and asked him if I could have it so I could properly 'dispose' of it he said sure.
Brought it home and low and behold, it POSTS! Only thing wrong is a totally dead harddrive and needed a good inside cleaning as it was majorly dusty.
Core 2 duo e6300, gig of ram, and a Geforce 6200 videocard. Nothing fancy but pretty damn good for free! :P
Amazing what people throw out
