I was on a walk and someone had put a pile of stuff out in front of their house. I went to take a look and saw a PC box that looked like a PC case. I thought, Cool, free PC case and decided to take it home. It felt heavier than an empty case, but I didn’t even think there might be a PC inside—I just figured it was a heavy case. I took the thing home, pulled it out of the box, and saw the back of it. It had a motherboard and a graphics card in it, and I actually started shaking because it actually had stuff in it. I opened it up, and it was a full-on gaming rig. I literally screamed from excitement. Because it’s a freaking gaming PC.

Oh wow that is ancient…
…from the Stone Age
As a scrapper I’d rip the precious metals and shiiii outta that thing. Could be $20 worth of Gold
at first i was like yeah whatever but wow even the drives are still in there that’s quite the score dude, don’t let people telling you it’s ancient discourage you just play some ancient games😂
old but very clean hmm…
It might be ancient, but it doesn’t mean this wasn’t a beast at one point!
but can it run crysis?
Make a decent media server
Probably a bit old for games but would be good as a server or something like that
…were the hard drives still in that?
Slap a $50 used GTX 970 in there and you have a 60 fps 1080p build.
Look for some crypto in those hard drives before anything else
Well you found a PC anyway….
Good enough to play some decent, not graphics heavy games at 1080p. Just upgrading the GPU would get you a playable experience on some newer games too. The 3770 was a beast, wish that was a 4th gen so you could put the legendary 4790K instead.
I’m using basically the same pc setup rn, that I also dug out of the trash, as my home media/game server.
Whoa an EVGA 670??? Mythical pull damn dude.
That’s ancient, but, y’know, free PC lol, you can probably find a use for it
I mean, as an office PC, or hook it up to a TV for streaming, this PC will work just fine. Even as a gaming PC if your not really a gamer and want to play some old or simple games. I don’t use cable TV anymore and haven’t for over 10 years so I HDMI my old PC’s and laptops to TV’s.
Hat a similar setup in 2012, GTX 670 and an i5 3570k.

Pretty much my first build from 2012
Who cares if it’s old? What an awesome find!
It’s an older rig, sir, but it checks out.
This is better than my current pc 😭😭😭
Who are these people!!!
it came with 8.5TB of storage and whatever the sata ssd is? that is decent amount of space even by today’s standards?
Hobo
Look at all those hard drives!
