While taking out the trash today, I saw a computer system sitting next to the dumpster. I thought, "Wow! I'm either very lucky today or this is just a pile of crap." Well, I didn't wanna hang out at the dumpster too long looking at the computer cuz there were people around. So I quickly hauled my find back to my apartment.
I took a look at the open case. It seems like everything is still intact inside. As far as I can tell (did a quick search online), this is a Pentium III 500MHz computer from the last century. The RAM, mother board, CD drive x 2, floppy drive, hard drive, CPU, wireless Ethernet, sound card, video card, and power supply are intact. I don't know if any of it works, and I guess I'll figure that out piece-by-piece when I have more time in a couple of months. I left the 15" CRT monitor at the dumpster.
