Ive said it before, and I'll say it again. I wish someone would leave me computer parts on my front lawn. 😂
Put a note on your cans for the trashmen, you may be surprised
Ends up with and FX CPUs
@@Agent_Clark Might end up with an old DOS machine, TE HE.
start a you tube tech channel and they will
Same man
They were seeing if it'd make it to a video, so they could confirm where you lived. You doxxed yourself privately.
yeah i think ur riight dude
Unluggy
That is actually kind of scary 😳
I think they know where he lives since they threw the old pc on his front lawn.
More than likely, a past customer needed to off an illegal pc
My man having the PC half disassembled before finding the Lenovo sticker to see what's in it is just too relatable.
?? it said Lenovo right on the case. Could be seen before he even picked it up.
@@ernieb3949 th-cam.com/video/qv96JYhfAuA/w-d-xo.html&lc=&t=6m47s He didn't notice the product specs sticker until around 7 min in, after wrenching on the optical drive. I just found that relatable.
my suggestion for this machine would be:
-get a new case
-get an SSD
-use the HD for Storage Space
-repurpose it as a Linux PC with either Pop Os, Linux Mint, Zorin OS or Endevaour OS
-if you want to make it a retro gaming pc, use Batocera or a Linux Distro specifically designed for Retro Gaming.
-NAS/Home Server/Media Server
there ya go.
I would have straightened that case out enough that it worked. That's if I even bothered with that PC.
Linux?! Nah bro get a fresh copy of Windows 8 or Windows 10.
the ISO file of Win8 is still aviable and could be a good deal if you find an Old PC with an old CPU like The Intel Celeron N2840 or the Intel i5-2500, with no OS in the Disk, and Upgrade to an SSD.
Windows 10? I recommend having a CPU like the Intel i5-7500 7th Gen or even 6th Gen i5 or i3, and an older version of Win10 like 1507 build or 2004 build, also Upgrade to an SSD.
@@pixolotl39YT no need to have insecure operating systems installed and working they are virus replicating farms because unpatched kernels, better current linux , not out of support osses it will be true even for win10 next year, also offline use is problematic because usb infections
@@pixolotl39YT are you dumb? do you know how bad it will be if he installs a unsupported os on a pc and connects it to the net? that PC will die. Win 10 will be EOL(end of life) next year, and Win 11 sucks ass and it will not run on this pc so might as well install a secure OS that will get a lot of support for the next 5-7 years. Linux Mint or any other Linux OS will do just fine.
bad recommendation, do not listen to this guy.
Usually I just have abandoned pets show up at my front door. I think you get the better deal!
I never understand people who do this, poor pets
You need an abandoned PET
@@Lord-Sméagol , message received!
I don't think so bud
@@Lord-Sméagol i wouldnt mind some one dumping and abandoned PET on my door step, a 2001 would be nice....😁
I've found old PC's in the alley that people threw out because they had no idea why they didn't work and probably went out and bought a new one. Sometimes they just need to be cleaned up and other times they're good for spare parts.
Years ago I used to find a lot of used PCs. Not so much these days.
Sometimes they look at it, think "it's old and slow and will cost $200 to fix, and I can get a new one for $300". Sometimes even I tell them this if asked to repair their older machine.
I can't find Jack like that! I've been looking lol. Downfalls of Living in a Small town of country folk that don't do tech 😅
Great little office PC for someone.
I found an PC at the dump, it has an Asus P8H67-M LE Board, i5 2500, boxed cooler, 8GB DDR3 RAM, XSilence 550W power supply, Bluray Drive in an old Office-like case.
It worked. But I decided to upgrade it a little bit. So I put in two case fans, changed the i5 to an i7 2600, the boxed cooler to an Thermalright AXP90-X53 and added an GTX 960 4GB and an SSD with Linux. The performance is ok, even in games.
It's amazing what some people will throw away. This could make a nice everyday PC, a Lab PC , server, NAS, Router. I hate to see waste.
Scored some i5 6500 systems with 16gb ram ddr4 2400 for $20 each on market place. Bought 5 of them and took the ram out of one to boost it to 32GB ram and threw a Nvidia 730 card in it with SSD. Runs windows 11 perfect!
*Without a doubt the SpaceX space shuttle, which dropped that in the garden* 😂😂
I used to work at a junk yard. Recovered a Pentium III back in the day. Was for a while the most powerful computer in the house. Was a dell but one of the sides was basically completely destroyed. Still fired up just fine.
Notice that one has a wireless card on the motherboard. A 2 TB drive is not that bad sized storage drive even in 2024. Also don't throw away cases, recycle them for extra money. Steel is worth at least a a little money.
Used to work for a computer bank. They got AUD$100 per tonne of steel from the computers that didn't make it into use on the charity side.
Not much steel that that maybe the panel the rest is some kind of soft metal I've seen those cases before toss it in the local recycle centre its not even worth pennies
@@soupdragon151 You get a load of chassis and other metal befoe going to the scrap yard.
I found a mangled laptop in a similar way, all I did was clean it up and it worked. I got lucky with working crucial parts. Only cosmetic damage, shattered screen and broken hinge. Always cool to see these.
Very nice.
@DLMtechgarage
Never throw away screws! You never know when you might need them. Trust me on that!! The case? Hell yeah, toss that hunk of junk, but always keep the screws!
I wish i hadnt thrown my screws away, yesterday i needed to migrate my computer to a new case, i didnt have screws, now im rawdogging and risking a motherboard short circuit by using a motherboard without a single screw
A10 7800 power is between i3 and i5 3rd gen so it still usable in normal office/daily task. Slap a ssd and a 650/750 and u can play like minecraft, roblox, lol,valorant
Exactly. It's similar to a 3rd. gen (i3 or i5) Intel - DDR3.
with the damage its possible it fell off a vehicle or a trailer and the dvd drive isnt exactly useless like it can be used to rip and play cd's as i consider streaming services scams
I rip DVDs with my DVD drive. I download all of my music from here. It's better than Napster.
@@1pcfred i have a external drive for ripping movies but all that stuff goes to my private home srever when its finished ripping
@@dawn1berlitz I keep all of the movies I rip on this PC. I haven't turned my file server on in a while now.
CD drives actually make pretty good CD drives, believe it or not.
@@Ben333bacc my DVD drive can play CDs too. It can even burn them. I downloaded music from here and burned it to a music CD. The trick is to normalize all of the different tracks. I found a Python script that'd do that for me. The first disc I burned the volume was up and down with every song. Very annoying.
I fix up old PC’s that are given to me and donate them to local charities. I dispose of any HDD’s and put in a cheap SSD at my own expense. I’ve probably donated 25 of them so far since I get a lot of donations. I install win10 home and add libre office.
i had one of these put in a normal case , had to find solutions for the errors on start but everything was fixable , great gift for someone
Lots of times these machines can be salvaged. I pulled one from a neighbor’s recycle and all it needed was a new power supply and RAM. And it had an expensive ASUS mobo in it.
"So i woke up this morning and casually put this computer in my front yard and tried to play it off for content"
that part at the end where you turned away before it booted up to hide the pii, legit bro.
You should 100% make a windows Vista PC with that A10
It runs win 10 better, and ANYTHING is better then Vista.......
An AM2 era setup would fit better for Vista
Vista is fine, what about Windows 7? Or even Windows 8.1?
@@pixolotl39YT I have a rule for Window OS... Every other OS is bad, for the most part... So, 95 Bad, 98 Good, Win 2000 Good, Win Me Bad, 7 Good, Vista Bad, 8 Bad, 10 Good, 11 - the jury is still out... Kinda both!
Vista was before 7
Closest thing I had to something like this was finding a full computer at a landfill, taking it home, cleaning it up, and powering it on to find out it was still working. Turned it into an arcade and classic emulation machine (It was a first gen i7 with a so nothing too ambitious) with a working GeForce GTX 580 and the only thing that didn't work was the DVD drives, one of the harddrives, and the power supply. Gave it away to a friend.
lol, I wish people did that to me haha. I rarely manage to find people putting out computers with the trash, so hey if they can just bring them to me... :)
think if they robbed it to cover up they did something wrong to sure the police can't find their pc which hold everything they need to login to police or someone home pc to steal as much data they want and thown it in the bin out of CCTV eyes to cover up they thrown a bag of Cans into the bin
That's crazy... I just found a working AMD FX 4300 build with a trashed case lying in my alley yesterday! I guess the universe aligned for us both.
What I usually do is check the motherboard specs an d find out the best CPU and RAM it will accept and try to find cheap used versions of them to max out the motherboard. Replace the hard drive with a good used Samsung EVO SSD and then check the performance. IF good get the cheapest case you can find on Newegg and put iit together. At this point figure out what you want to do with it ( home theater pc, NAS, internet box, light gaming rig, etc.) and think about what video card you can use.. Depending on that choice you may need to upgrade the PSU. I'm assuming windows 10 as the OS but check to see if it will accept windows 11. If so this could be quite a useful machine.
(Finds 100 Bitcoins on old hard drive, tells no one. Next video has a brand new Lambo sitting in the garage.) 😁
I like how you articulate the difference between comfortable and confident😂 I started because of the old PC I stayed to watch you manhandle that DVD drive 😂 great video
. You've got a new subscriber!
I Love Watching TH-cam Videos Where Computers Video Game System Consoles Etc.
One time a coworker threw a 3.5" hard drive at my head and missed. He got fired from the company. This is the closest thing to your video about throwing technology. Love this channel BTW and please keep us posted on this PC you had thrown your way. See ya later. Thanks
i think it's cruel for someone to abandon computer parts or anything in someones yard or anywhere , good video by the way
CONGRATS ON 20k!
You can also take a can of compressed air, turn it upside down and use that to remove the CPU from that heatsink.
- get a cheap case
- throw in a cheap SSD
- get a cheap display output like a GT 1030
and you got a mostly free PC
Why, what you would run on it ?
@@lucasrem Retro games. It would be cool for a retro/indie gaming PC.
usually a good idea to test something before teardown. cleaning and inspecting is always a good idea. But you always run the risk of damaging or missing something on reassembly. this of course doesn't apply if there is obvious damage, moisture, or unplugged/missing components. similar to a technician verifying a problem before trying to fix it. just a thought💁♀
A nice new case a little rgb and put on chrome flex OS.
I grabbed a pc off a curb once. I got it home, removed the side panel, and it had all kinds of dead cockroaches and egg casings stuck to spider webs. It totally freaked me out thinking i might have just created a huge bug problem in my house for a nearly worthless PC.
Yeah inspect them outside first. German roaches are the worst.
be a good first computer for someone that wants to learn or a good test one with hard drives and video cards you can pick up open case on temu that you can test all day with lol
Thats exactly why i own a nice ifixit set and my GN set cause sometimes ya need a little more length to hit that back wall.😉
Right on
A gift from one of your TH-cam watchers. You should have titled this "I know where you live."
wow it works, i geuss peps just dont know the value of pc parts or just so rich they dont care about a few bucks some old pc parts can make.
Well with what you've got there, ideas are:
1. Linux becomes a good option and opens the door for things like a small NAS (storage space wise), but some small editions like a SATA3 expansion card can add more drives to the count. A true RAID card would be more money, but I know a number of things like UnRAID try to use existing hardware and SATA adapter cards rather than a true RAID card (there are exceptions).
2. Linux allowing for emulating Windows XP or Windows 7 (via free VMWare Workstation Pro for personal use) can open gaming options for the retro side of things. 3. I think BlueStacks has a Linux version, so you could run that as something to play various mobile games.
4. If you do want to run Windows 7 or XP on the hardware that obviously will not be connected to any network, just all by itself (key may be on the case, though you may have your old one). File transfer via USB, or take the hard drive out, connect to a USB adapter, and load files you want later installed. If going the Linux as the Host OS, passthrough is possible and would allow connection to any NAS you have.
5. Steam through Linux. There are plenty of old games that can run on that hardware.
6. Run old DOS games. Linux and DOSBox or the various frontends for DOSBox can work here. If running Linux, the unit can be on your network, and any file repository you have would be accessible (ISO images for various old games come to mind). You would need something to deal with some DRM (a full paid version of Alcohol 52% or 120% come to mind for that. The FE version sadly does not have the A.C.I.D. program to get around the disc safe and other DRM annoyances). If dealing with mixed mode CD's (track 1 is data, the rest are game background music and other audio), that DVD may help in making ISO's of those (K3B on Linux is one of the few programs I know of that will do Track At Once (TAO) rather than Session At Once (SAO) with a compatible drive). Mixed mode CD's that have been converted to BIN and CUE form, Alcohol 120% FE edition will handle on the Windows side.
7. Home media server client and Home Theatre PC (HTPC). You have the DVD drive, that may have a firmware update, and if so you can play DVD's on that (you may have ripped the DVD's already, if so the media server client path is open). Since the unit has on-board video and a PCI-E x16 slot of some level, you could hook it up to an HD capable TV and go from there. You don't need a lot of graphics power for playing 1080p content, so on-board may be fine (I'd have to check the video again as to on-board video connections. There are DVI to HDMI adapters), but a 2Gb or 4Gb graphics card (even some older 256Mb cards can do this and that's AGP era stuff, though there were initial PCI-E cards that also were low video memory cards) can free up that system memory (you may have one in your parts pile) and of course a second card allows for dual displays, or output to something else to capture from the old gear.
One idea if you don't already have some DDR3 around is to upgrade that memory with a 32Gb kit (I got a G.Skill kit way back 4x8Gb, as I picked up two dual channel kits (2x8GB per kit). If you have some DDR3 around, getting the unit to 16Gb would be a good minimum, but if you can get it to 32Gb, that will open a number of doors for you. My kit is a RipjawsX 1866MHz kit, and I paired that with an AMD Athelon FX-8150 CPU. I plan on setting that up as a home server or media client, but it can still run a number of titles at medium or better settings depending on the graphics card. If you have an RX580 8Gb card that worked well with mine and should work with what you have there.
The key for a lot of the games for me when I was running that FX chip was looking at the Intel specs for the game and comparing that to my chips' own specs.
Games you may be able to run (my FX-8150 ran these with that RX580 with medium settings or a mix of medium and high, 60Hz monitor at 2560x1440, if you go to 1080 that will affect your results):
Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris
Bionic Commando
Bionic Commando Re-Armed
Borderlands 2 (3 is iffy for your hardware, my 8150, most likely will run it)
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
River City Girls (Some of the other River City games should run, too)
FightN' Rage
Street Fighter 5 (there is a mobile version of 4, BlueStacks will run that. There is a release of a Street Fighter Alpha for PC I found on Steam, you should be able to run that)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cowabunga Collection and Shredders Revenge are just two to look into in that franchise)
Batman Arkham Origins
Fallout 4
Elderscrolls 4 Oblivion
Some earlier Witcher titles (3 should work)
Doom 3
Doom (2016)
Doom Eternal (mine yes, yours possibly)
Any DOS game you want (Wing Commander 3 and 4 along with Prophecy (if this is misspelled my appologies), among others)
MechWarrior 3 and 4 (I think you can find these free now)
MechWarrior Online (now known as MechWarrior Legends)
Various indie games (BAT-Boy (find it on Steam), a number of others, of which a number of are free or low cost)
Megaman Legacy Collection
Megaman X Collection
Wartech Fighters
Honkai Impact 3rd (PC Client, or through BlueStacks using the mobile version)
Genshin Impact (see notes on Honkai above)
Honkai Star Rail (not sure about the PC Client (my 8150 probably could run it), as to the mobile version through BlueStacks, not sure for your hardware there, my 8150 probably).
The key for BlueStacks will be having four cores and 8Gb of memory available. Those four cores are a default, but I did run that on a dual core Laptop with AMD Vision for Megaman X Dive Mobile (laptop was a dual core system running Windows 10, should have left it on 7 as the memory was not upgradeable and with what I was running a lot of that memory was taken up in 10).
There are recent games that have been made by small teams, various individuals, and released later as free (Epic Store freebies, for example) that your hardware should run without issue (anything with 2D graphics or trying for old school RPG look and feel (Skald Against the Black Priory for example).
I will say if you start dealing with any flying games, a good USB joystick is a must. I do recommend the Logitech Wingman Pro 3D USB flightstick (you should be able to find it around the $40 to $60 dollar mark. A controller is a very good idea too. If you have a Playstation or XBox controller of some version around, those can work or need an adapter. If all else fails, Logitch Gamepad F310 (ran me $40) is a good choice.
I hope my suggestions help and happy gaming.
I've never lived in a situation where I have to check outside for weird stuff/damage to my car in the morning so I'm sorry that's normal for you. Congratulations on the PC though.
Not had a computer abandoned like that (I would scan the drive for infections before attempting to access it) but I did have a bike abandoned outside a neighbours house. Repaired it and sold it for more than it cost me to repair.
I'm viewing today on what appears to be the same pc. It's been great, worked for years with no problem at all. I clean the dust out though. I have the 90B7.
That is one of the best AMD APU's for the FM2+ Socket. It is definitely a hard to come by Processor these days. It clocks at 3.9ghz boost and is a Quad Core with a decent graphics core (the R7 was decent for the time period. And is still good enough (preferably with an SSD or a NVME Drive on a x4 PCIE adapter.) for most Office applications and networking functions and even some 720p Streaming video from TH-cam, Amazon and Disney etc. So if you get a bargain on a ATX Micro Case (and an SSD if possible) You could build a good little PC for a kid to play Minecraft or Roblox. PS don't forget to keep the I/O shield.
I use old computers for file servers, media server (jellyfin) home NAS, etc. Build your home lab
This was Lenovo A Series Case, I mod the USB and HD Audio ping as international standard, onece I MOD them as International setting, I still can use those Factory Official frame and put ASUS MB to the lenovo LOL. This lenovo frame cant fix it anymore, so I suggestion you remove those sticker and move them to new or second hand PC frame and place the sticker on there :)
Throw some more drives into it, RAID them, install TrueNAS and use it for network storage. Or turn it into a media server.. There's stacks of stuff you can do with an old PC.
The only garbage I find in my yard is someone's discarded liquor bottles or soda cans. Looks like you had a stroke of luck.
unless is one of his friends who did it as Stolen PC are not a good icon for you following the law ends up taking a rigged pc to hijack you and made police track it to you
I’d use that as an arcade emulator machine. Nice work getting it back to life 😊
Doesn’t sound like a bad idea tbh
Found a Lenovo ThinkCentre M93 mini dumped on the street near me last year took it home and got a charger of eBay to test it and it powered up straight away plus it had 8GB ram and a 240GB SSD & i5 CPU but it had windows 8.1 on it
Nice find!
U obviously aren't tech savvy
@@FakeMrBear Who?
They are good. I had an AMD A10 7870K for the longest time running Win 10. I put an MSI Nvidia GTX 1060 6gb used for mining video card in it. It runs games Ok. Not the best or fastest. It does the job just fine, though.
E haaa what a find those comps was great back in the day.
Buy a top of the lime athlon and add a gpu something like 1050, it will work for playing e sport titles
Yeap.
Had it as my own combo for a long time,in the FM2 era.
@@DuneRunnerEnterprises the cpu should be dirt cheap now
One thing, always use the heatgun method on non LGA motherboards, better hot than sorry
Toxic fluff is your no.1 enemy 😀
What a lucky guy. People dump working computers in his yard. Surprisingly he also records videos and publish videos on youtube. Better than winning the lottery. This guy is extremely lucky. Hehehe.
dual gigabit network card in the PCIe x1 slot, small SATA SSD, turn it into a pfsense/OPNSense firewall box
Likely this fell off a pickers truck on trash day.
Looks like a perfect system to turn into a linux desktop or server for homelab stuff.
I thinks thats a Lenovo H50, they have an intel model with a haswell board that u can plug in an i7-4770, and for amd the highest chip looks like the A10-7800. If your OK with running ultra low spec bottom of the basement potato gaming pcs 720P@30FPS all you need for this board is to pickup an old trusty red circuit board Bus Powered tiny ATI Radeon HD or R7 or R9 or RX, you want to specifically look at the video cards that have DDR5 Memory, they come in variants of 1GB 2GB 4GB, some examples HD 7570, R7 250, RX 550, RX 460, plug the card in, install the amernimezone driver, reboot, install GTAV and set it to 720P Low 30fps and game on, another classic that will run is Bioshock Infinite, Dishonored, PREY, and many more. And of course you have some bus powered GT and GTX cards you can use as well just make sure its a DDR5 Card. Have a good weekend everybody.
Looks like a nice start of a NAS or some other small home server. A10's are great for that, and 12GB of RAM gives you a lot of options with different Linux distros
Someone just heaved it out of there window as they drove by. Iv'e dont that before. Cool video!!!! I would keep the hdd, ROM and memory and junk the rest
I've heard about students getting out of college dumpster dumping their old PCS. Maybe check out a couple of dumpsters near college dorms near the end of the semester. Maybe you'll get lucky.
You didn't need the heat gun. You got a bottle of alcohol right there. Just soak a little around the edges and it would have separated easily.
NEVER put a computer that you don't know on your network without looking at the hdd first you never know whats on it
soo true. I learned the hard way in one of my videos a while back!!
@@DLMtechgarage think if is was Stolen than your find out why
Computer can be track if it a Police or a high level Area where they need to store 1M people accounts that everyone tracks to know what user and password was used
I had this before, turned out to be an ancient Pentium 4 that was holding on for dear life 😂
I ran a a10-7700k for a long time. It's still in a build my nephews use to play minecraft.
Why does that naming exist
I upgraded an i3-2120 to an i5-4570, put in a 1660 in it and sold it this year for the price of the parts, minus the labor. Still ran fine and I patched it to Win11 😂
oh my days, i remember having the SAME exact PC back in 2012 or something. I always wanted to upgrade it but, believe it or not the motherboard after full 11 years stopped working. i gave it a good ol sob and left it as it was i did try to make it come to life but nothing seemed to work (rest in peace. i'll miss those sweet ol 15 frames (and that monstrous geforce 210 card) it was all i had growing up i still have the pc keeping it clean and fresh.) update ( i just looked at it again and this ones a more upgraded version of it BUT STILL THE SAME CASE)
I get that there is probably private information on the drive, but it would be nice to know if you found out anything about the original owner or some way to contact them before just wiping it.
As for stuff being left in front yards... I once woke up to 2 dogs tied up to a tree in my front yard. I had a fenced yard and separated area above a retaining wall, so someone literally broke into my fence to do it. Never found the owners and rehomed the dogs to some friends. They were pretty well behaved so they obviously had families. Never really found out what happened to make someone leave them.
The A10 was underpowered for the time but was one of the best of the AMD A series. One good thing was it had a better built in video card then Intel. You will find it is a stable, easy to work with CPU. Linux works well on these systems, as well as WIN 10. A Mame box or similar will work well. Most games will run from the mid 2000's. So, a retro game system is definitely an idea. I use it to play Bioware RPG games from 2000 to 2009. This is using just the onboard graphics with 16 gig dual channel ram and a SSD. Have fun!
You need a Reolink or Kuna camera covering your front yard.
sweet find my man keep it up
Oh yes Santa Claus dropped the computer in front of my yard too what a coincidence who knows maybe this year's Santa Claus will drop another one here but they do say Santa Claus doesn't strike twice in the same spot
15:22 "the good old days, the cpu came out" yeah that's the one thing I don't like about pga sockets, even the intel ones, when the paste gets old it tends to cement the cpu to the heatsink sometimes causing it to come out when the heatsink is removed, mainly with stock coolers like that. Also I have a cpu with similar specs to the a10-7800 (an athlon 860k, which is one without the integrated graphics) and it's based on the 3rd generation of bulldozer (which u may be more familiar with as what the amd fx series used) I use it with a gtx 960 for windows xp stuff such as some old games and for my old media players and other devices that require xp.
Yeah. It doesn't even have to turn to cement to take the CPU out with the cooler. I've had it happen on AM4 CPUs with paste that was in decent shape. It felt like it had some kind of vacuum seal. I pulled up straight and gentle. No bent pins so far.
True, have had it happen with still quite fresh arctic silver 5, the stuff is pretty sticky
You're lucky the weather is dry I found one once in a ditch everything had damp penetration inside the case nothing was salvageable except the HDD managed to pull an full MS Office copy and licence of that used it for years. Also full of so many viruses like nothing I'd ever seen before.That 2TB drive is useful storage even today though
At the very least you'll get a decent magnet from the hard drive.
Hi guys, when I wanted to go on the internet for the first time about 20 years ago. I went to a computer repair place and got the cheapest tower they had just to learn. 6 months later I was in my room and needed to go to the loo and make a coffee when I came back my room was full of putrid smoke (Capacitor let go). I called the shop and told them about the power supply and they did me a favour by selling me a good unit cheaper than the asking price (no warranty on the first one so I was happy.) The lesson of the day, you only get what you pay for. I wish they still sell the Toshiba Satellite Pro, I still have mine and thinking of doing upgrades to it as it still works just a lil slow even with an SSD.
I would put some light weight linux distro on it and then have a shop pc to look stuff up on. Or make it a music box for the shop. Or donate it to someone that's in school that cant afford a pc "as is".
Great video, definitely wanna see you repurpose this and sell it
nice find, a10 cpu with graphics inside, 12GB ddr3, 2TB hdd, not bad.
Still better then mine
You could use it for Pfsense router. If I remember correctly the A series CPUs are quite low powered.
Got a Lenovo e93 with a 2TB hard drive within,upgraded it and using it as a server pc
I fixed up and cleaned up my old AMD3 PC and gave it to my nephew. Then it was given to my niece. Then it was given away to my niece boyfriend brother. Last time I heard, it was working good.
I gave away a retired Athlon 64 system with a Radeon 9500 Pro that was only about four years old at the time. It passed through a few hands, and while it was with a certain cousin, it died. He didn't tell anyone for months, thinking he'd be left holding the bag. It wasn't until I asked to check up on it that he admitted that it was broken. I had to tell him "I'm not mad, there's a reason I gave it away". Then I helped him pick the parts for his own PC. (And I ended up with his electronic drum kit when he had to downsize so I'm really not mad.)
I kinda wish I had the case (nothing else, just that case) back now.
This is a great machine to build into a table drawer, and attach it to a small touch display what you can build into the tabletop, flush. Great machine for looking up lists, pdf files, mails, and so on, amd even better if its IN the worktable. Cheap and fancy project
Quite frankly, this is what you get for leaving your house, especially on your day off.
I thought it would be funny if after tearing it apart someone would come looking for it.
Next video- “Someone Dumped a 1890s typewriter in my front yard does it still work?”
It was in your attic, and you were stuck on what your next video would be, so you thought Um! I know, that dusty old thing there in the corner of the attic, I'm not carrying it down all them stairs, so out the attic window it went! Upon finding it dented, you thought Um perfect, it's an abandoned PC on my front lawn, a perfect video.
I had an A10 before and it was an AM4 board with DDR4. The board was compatible with some Ryzen CPUs so it got upgraded. The A10 itself I found a bit laggy.
schools: I WANT THE WHOLE STOCK

Someone must really hate you if they dropped an FM2+ PC on your front lawn
Put an 500gb ssd in it and call it a day. It won't be any gaming pc by any means. But i am sure it can still be use for surfing the internet or light gaming.

Actually I have another story. Way back in the day a person who I don't know in my neighborhood threw out a PC and left it by the curb. So being as I am I got it and powered it up. It had network adapter on it so I plugged that in. This was along time ago and I started getting messages from people from Yahoo messenger. Anyhow there was no password in this PC and I did the right thing and wiped the drive and repurposed parts. Most of it went into the trash bin, It made me realize how people have no clue about privacy or security with PCs - at least back then..
Easy does it put one of your old ones in your front yard and here’s new video 😃

I have a lapto with an A6-4xxx, 16GB ram, and an ssd for an HD. Running linux - it is a quite respectable desktop. I would not do hi def gaming, but running simpler games is ok. if you are a Linux person or know one - this is a respectable machine.
