So I found this computer lying in the lobby of my building. People

Also, the thing's incredibly dusty, has stickers left on different parts (like the person constructing it was really indifferent about branding stickers) and there also is a part of a usb drive that looks partially ripped out of the socket

>>61598825
Start it up and see if it works?

>>61598825
>x99 motherboard
So at least a 5820k I figure? if I saw it I'd grab it. Clean off the drives.

Power it on and look at what's in the hard drive.

That's a nice heatsink.
Anyway, check the hdds for anything interesting/valuable and make sure to use some data recovery tools too.
Afterwards either sell the parts, use then to supplement your own system or set it up as a fallback.

Like I said, the boot drive was the only thing missing, that aside like it will not post, not even the motherboard lights up
Also, here's a picture of the ripped out usb

>>61599011
Can probably scrap it for parts, then.

Try a different PSU

>>61598825
give it back jamal

>>61598825
>What should I do?

install gentoo

>>61599011
unplug the broken usb dongle, unplug the psu from wall, pull the battery, disconnect all sata cables. put the battery back in and see if it will post.

No post from there unplug the cpu power cables and see if it will light up and spin the fans. If so the cpu or board is most likely fried. Pull cpu and look for burnt pads or melted pins.

Give it back jamal

You should give it back, Tyrone.

Honestly this is making me think that this was primarily built to be a porn server. 8 ram spots, support for a xeon processor and also the terrabyte+ of porn.

>>61599242
But why a 750 and not a 710 then?

>>61599079
Took too long

Return it LaQuan

>>61598825
Rip it apart and sell the working parts.
Really not that hard.
Selling the d15 cooler alone will leave you with some decent pocket change.

Looks like there were, at max 6 sata drives connected to the thing.
One for the optical drive (still intact) and there are two hard drives still sitting there.
The boot drive is missing for sure, that gives three hard drives that this person removed.
I'm still not sure why they left two porn drives but removed three others.

>>61599383
Whatever, just take out the parts, format the drives, sell something you don't need

>>61599383
those are full of naked children, enjoy Guantánamo

Probably some illegal shit on the 2 he removed, and also the boot drive in case the system logs showed anything
He probably drilled the other 3 drives then dumped the rest of the server where someone else, such as yourself, would find it and distribute the parts for the money, so it couldn't be tracked back to them
Although you might be able to track the serial number on the parts if you wanted to actually track down the guy like some gay ass white knight
Remove the broken USB and look for burn marks in the port and on the mobo, that might have been a USB Killer so the guy could fry the system

>>61599519
The usb itself looks clean
Also, I'm fine being a gay ass white knight

>>61599572
USB might have also been the boot drive, and the guy just broke it off
Is the porn on the drives organized? Or does it look like its just been randomly downloaded and stuffed into folders?

>>61599673
Some parts are more organised than others. Honestly looks like the person just had a bunch of different torrents working on that thing.

Jayquan PLEASE

>>61599262
750 will handle 1080p+5.1, might have been a media server

So what would be the best way to check the CPU without removing the huge ass fan setup?
The thing won't post, so I'm pretty sure I'm shit out of luck.

>>61599766
If it won't post, removing the cooler is the only way to find out. Noctua's mounting hardware is simple as fucking anyway. It's just two big screws on either side.

>>61598825
Remove the drives and connect them and see whats on them
Also check shit like partition tables and file system type as they might give you an idea of what OS it was running

>>61598825
so you just stole it?

>>61600776
Nah, people leave shit they don't want all the time.

>>61601094
i want to live where you live it that's true because all people leave in my area are shitty mattresses

Craigslist

>>61598825
Pretty good find. Worth it for the NH-D15 alone. Too bad the guy mounted it the wrong way.

>>61601136
That's usually what happens. Also it looks like this person was trying to get rid of evidence

>>61601094
Yeah lol there's even car parks full of cars people just left behind like they just changed their minds and don't want them anymore. It's great for me

>>61598825
So whats on the HDD?

>>61603138
About 1.5 terrabites of porn

>>61598825
return it Tyrone

Damn, people throw away systems way nicer than what I have all the time, but I just can't seem to come across one.

Best I ever picked up was a prebuilt Core 2 Quad.

>>61598825

give it back jamal

>>61598825

Well fire it back up and put it back on the interwebz

>>61599242
What kind of Porn is on there?

>>61598825
That's infinitely better than my computer, where could I get something like that?

I picked up a trashed Z97 with a 4670K a few weeks back system, some people just trash good stuff.

Take it apart, see what works and what doesnt.
If it doesnt work, its probably the PSU or motherboard. But the CPU is a hard thing to kill, same for ram and hard drives. GPU is probably ok unless it looks visibly damaged.

New mobo + new PSU = cheap shitbox

>>61598825
OP fucking deliver already, get it fixed so we can see what's on it ffs

>>61598825
>buy expensive CPU cooler
>install it in a way that blocks 50% of its airflow and the other 50% consists mostly of hot air from the GPU

Brilliant.

Regardless, you should just give it back, Jamal.

>>61598825
give it to me I can use some more porn
