Dumpster Diving For Computer Parts

Picking through the trash one day, as I often do, and I made a discovery. What exactly is this, and does it even work?

[LastPig]

It’s sad when that pc he found has a better graphics card than my pc

[garbage]

About 2 yrs ago I found a Powerspec pc with a 4th gen in it. Was my daily for about 6 months

"Not that old"

Is a 13 year old machine running an OS that no longer gets support or security updates.

It was almost like opening a treasure chest and finding a nice gear i guess...lucky you..
You can even put a Phenom II x6 CPU, if the AM3 MoBo allows it, and i hope it has 4 RAM slots for 32GB. After you can even update from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

I really like the media panels on the front of these Acer machines. I've got an older case made for the AMD 8550 or whatever it was. Going to chuck a 5-7000 series in it.

[joseherrera]

Did this while in San Francisco. I just flipped parts off it, made $150 off it because 25yo PC parts somehow commend high prices, and quietly nuked the guy's old drive that had a ton of info, both very sensitive and err... explicit material. Done this a couple more times whenever I see one. Apart from having them take up some trunk space it's kinda free money apart from eBay fees+ shipping. Maybe my experience at an IT/e-waste company factors into why I do it but whatever.

[unbojihmusicmain]

if that's windows 7 you know it's good

[grldnnr]

Pre Ryzen amd cpus should stay in the trash it doesn't matter that it's quad core

[zachknell]

Worth it if it still has the Windows 7 product key to get free copy of Windows 10!

[Leo]

I haven't seen anything with any o.s older than windows 7 since the 18th century.
