Im a garage door installer and me and my cousin went to the scrapyard to dump some doors we had just taken down for some cash. While dumping the trash we saw a pc with some parts and I was shocked to see it had a 6900xt!!
We took off the aio and saw that it also had an i9 11900kf, Corsair 850 psu, lian li fans, and a Tuf z590 motherboard. I swapped my brothers 3060 ti with the 6900xt and it worked like a dream. Im also a little confused because it had no hard drive or ssd in it; so I'm assuming somebody might have known what they had but idk I'm still shocked.

Sometimes trying to sell stuff is simply too much of a hassle. People are the worst.
But congrats on the find.

When the trashed scrapyard PC has a better gpu than you do…
*cries in 1060*
Could have been from a make ready and was left in a tenants apartment.
Ibuypower doesn’t use Corsair psus, coolers,
lian li fans, or Z series motherboards. But why would anyone swap those into that ugly ahh case? This is truly a mystery pc.
Sell it and get that new drivers seat you’ve always wanted

it’s my time to post this mom
people really are throwing away anything these days
wtf a good deal on the used market is like $400 usd for a 6900xt lol
Gib 3060 ti plz
Its an ibuypower. Those and cyberpowerpc belong in the scrapyard but hopefully you got a few good components from it!
Lucky mutha-😅r
And here I am finding nothing. Oh well, that’s life, nice find.
I have that exact motherboard

Probably HW banned in a dozen games so he just dumped it
Sweet find. I found 3x i7 3770’s one with an Rx 570 and another with a gtx 980 windforce, and 1x i7 4770 PC in people’s curbside junk. They all work flawlessly!
Super score! That’s awesome to find discarded treasures!
who the hell throws away a pc with a 6900xt + 11900kf combo
I’m amazed how people from “first-world countries” just don’t give a shit about valuable stuff like a PC
yeah i mean i’m guilty of throwing old pcs out. there’s no reason for me to keep them beyond a year or 2 in storage. of course i always take a hammer to them ala office space before tossing…
I am guessing it used to belong to someone else’s son who is no longer around.
someone cheated on their girlfriend
Someone got in a fight with their SO
Just a quick fix right there
Did the owner of the PC think it was cursed and threw it away ? Or maybe Father or Girlfriend got sick of his son/boyfriend gaming and threw it away? These are only reason I can think of.
Is your driver an actual bear?
It’s in an Ibuypower case but all those components look custom build, odd. All the parts worked including the AIO?
I’ve gotten decent deals on these as factory prebuilts with the shitty stock AIO they send out clogging killing the pump in the AIO and then ppl think the comps “gone bad” and just don’t want to deal with trouble shooting etc.
That’s such a score looks like you got some good karma
Someone wife or gf for sure lol
I’m that kind of person NGL threw away a 2060 wind force that was my back up because it was on market place for like a month at 50$ kept getting DMs “it’s garbage. No one wants it 5$” or “it’s the worst RTX card it is not worth that” etc. Finally got pissed off and gave a 1080 to a friend’s kid month before that just to get rid of it. It just got to be so damn annoying getting DM’d and shit talked rage took over and said fuck it no one gets it. That also looks like a rage throw like a parent or someone who got sick of people shit talking them too lol.
What a find! The only thing that pops up in my head is an angry ex partner. I can’t think of any other reason why someone would casually throw out a perfectly good PC like that.
