Judging from the badges and I can say, that’s a solid no.
But the hard drive might be fun to pull out and explore.

There looks to be dumpster juice right next to it.
That’s a def no.
JarlBallnuts
YES. See if it still has the hard drives. If so, it’s time to have some data recovery fun and see what’s on it. With any luck, it’s not encrypted and the owner didn’t wipe the drive.

fuck it grab it and see if it works. FX is fun to OC and mess around with

I can see printed on the board, PCIe 2.0
– Cue really bad Harrison Ford impression –
It belongs in a museum!

Take it but buy some gloves first
AFAIK the FX series could serves as a highly souped up Windows XP machine

That’s an Antec 900 case… What are you waiting for
Poway_Morongo
Yes. What does it cost you to take a look?

I would put on some nitrile gloves and take it apart on my garage floor. Anything wet in one pile and dry in another pile. Clean it up and power it on. I like to recycle/refurbish older hardware and give them away to people who actually are in need of a pc to use for everyday stuff.
Yesterday’s gaming pc’s make good home desktop computers today.

Could probably salvage the case. If I’m not wrong that’s an old Antec case. Probably someone out there that would want it.
The internals are old… Really old. If that one badge is to be believed, it’s got an AMD FX core in it, which isn’t a bad CPU, they just had abysmally high TDP… Like skipping toaster and straight to gas oven high.
SashaG239
Nope, hard pass. That ddr3, fan, exposed copper on gpu, and stickers… it may be a collectable in 30 years. Right now it’s e-waste.

Case alone is fantastic, I still have mine and won’t ever let it go.
Mun0425
I would for zero dollars. You can spray it off with a water hose and it will be fine once you let it dry.

Its always worth it

Im taking that bad boy

As someone said, there’s dumpster juice there, so no to the case and PSU, could try taking the GPU, RAM and CPU out?
Edit… I saw the AMD FX badge so skip the cpu

might as well
Imperial_Bouncer
Hell yeah!
Free hardware is always worth it. Worst case scenario, take out the insides, and leave the case.
Iphonjeff
I’d get it

This sub will likely say no.
I would always say yes.
I’ve pulled many PCs out of the garbage. I really love making these old beasts run like new again.
From what I can see:
That’s an Antec Nine Hundred computer case. An icon of the late 00’s-early ‘10s
G.Skill Ripjaws RAM in blue, which is rarer in DDR3 dimms vs the DDR4 ones.
It is also an AMD FX chip. The cooler is definitely a stock AMD cooler. Overheats easy but still somewhat capable.
GPU looks fine as well. If I had to guess, Radeon HD 6000 or 7000 series. Likely a mid-tier model too, considering it’s only a 6 pin power
The gigabyte motherboard might actually still be good, as they are some of the best boards reliability-wise. Assuming it hasn’t been powered up with any rain or dumpster juice on it, and it can be dried thoroughly before testing, it might have a fighting chance
The PSU would have me skeptical. Case badging would indicate an EVGA PSU. Cables also have sleeves on them, which was only found on premium PSUs at that time. However, age and water are factors that could very well screw with the PSU, and would definitely have me concerned
TLDR, take it. Let it dry out, consider a new power supply at the minimum.

I would clean clean clean then give it to the kid to practice building and to learn basics

Only to get it recycled properly. I don’t get why this is so hard for people not to litter like this.

Is that am3+ with 16gb ram yeah it’s worthless hand it over I’ll take care of it 😆
Gallop67
If it’s in the dumpster, I’m guessing it probably doesnt have any components worth jumping in a dumpster for
papaschmeckle
There is literally gold in those components
SaigaExpress
Ive jumped in a dumpster for less.

Yeah, might be okay as a router/server, or running emulation. But you ain’t getting no RTX ON there.
Doesn’t mean there’s nothing there. I for sure wouldn’t take it in and plug it in, but if it’s got some decent speed ram (it won’t), and the cpu isn’t too slow (it will be), you will be able to set it up after some care as..
1. A starter/base if you just need entry into the master race. BIM, that mb for sure is no good TODAY, but hay, it may have a 512gb hdd you could use as storage. That psu could be a surprise 550+ watts. If it’s working, there’s another part. Now, that ram is gonna be old, based on the PCIe 2.0, it’s gonna be DDR3 at best. That is a stock cooler for an old cpu. Another fail. Maybe the case could be cleaned up, and let’s not talk about the gpu. I’m guessing it has an optical drive in it also. That might be worth holding on to, but I am just not sure. Maybe a resurgence, but prolly not. Might come in handy to a console repair.
2. Something to keep young ones quiet for a bit. At least until they wanna play Minecraft at an sorta decent settings.
3. But best of all, put your expensive jewellery, cash etc in a black box inside the case. Because for sure anyone who knows a thing ain’t gonna steal it.
So, You have maybe a hhd and psu. You could have a case. There might be some call for an optical drive.
TL;DR You’re not going to save much on a build you will for sure have to do.
