Hey /g/, how many PCs have you found next to dumpsters?
>>61679296
None. Picked up a case that I couldn't use. Has a windows sticker though.
>>61679296

None.
I live in an all White neighbourhood where people know how to dispose of waste.

I have a couple of old Core 2 Duo workstations that a local college was throwing out. They've been sitting on top of my wardrobe for about five years now.
More than I care to count.
I found a mint condition Atari st in a dumpster at the place I work about 10 years ago. Had a monitor too. Shit was pretty sweet.

I bet one of them is a dell optiplex clamshell

one. had windows 7 pro installed on it, no password. recovered about 8GB data out of the trash including photos, financial infos, phone numbers and word/excel/onenote documents.
Recently acquired a Dell Vostro 410 Core 2 Quad E6600 with 4GB DDR2 from a restaurant that was moving to a new location. Not exactly a dumpster find but it was headed for the trash before I got to it. Works fine, might use it as a file server in my new place, it's fairly quiet.

Found one of those cheap HP desktops with a laptop motherboard that ran off an external power brick, can't test it yet until i can find one that works with it.

Two. Athlon 64 about 2 years ago and a Celeron 266 in AT box around 2008.
I found a little switch the other day

At least it's a FX, I only find pentium 4 with Windows XP

Two working ones and like five cases with a couple parts over the years. Only thing good I found in the last one was some DDR2 to upgrade the memory in my HP color laserjet printer.
I've also found processors in new packages from people that swapped them and chucked the old one.
Best thing I probably ever got tech wise was my 60 inch Hitachi HDTV. One of the last 1080i rear projection that looks fantastic. The blacks are insane. The previous owners chucked it because they toasted their red filter. Like $5 for me to get another one and slap it in. Way too many people are afraid to take anything apart or even attempt a fix these days.
Oh, I found a perfect condition George Foreman grill when I went on a walk this morning. I'll probably give it away once the novelty wears off, but it cooked a couple sausages for dinner pretty nice.

Shitloads
I'm too gay to want to get a car, so I can't just roll around town one night to go pickup a bunch of old computers off the street to tinker with.
