hard for me, neighbor likes to throw away computer cases when he upgrades, got a nice mechanical steel series keyboard too. my son and I cleaned it up, filled it with parts and now he has a decent computer. saved me $300 retail and he learned how to test things to make sure they worked, like io cables and whatnot. win win.
Damn, I can't imagine throwing that stuff away instead of donating it. If it's just a common item I'll drop it off at the thrift store, and if it's something really good I'll put it on Craigslist for free. If it's really good then I'll sell it.
i can only imagine he thought it was broken, he left
this case - Corsair 4000D - https://amzn.to/40uje6R
this keyboard - Steelseries Apex Pro - https://amzn.to/48zfXVP
and a week later, this case - Thermaltake Core V2 - https://amzn.to/48BL96M
the thermaltake case i had just bought one a month prior to setup as a backup Truenas server, they Corsair case and keyboard went to my kid's rig after we cleaned it. haven't found any major issues, every once in awhile the lights ont he keyboard go wonky, so we just unplug it, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in. all keys work perfectly find.
Ha! Thay first case is the exact case I have for my main gaming desktop. I almost bought the second case last month when building a HTPC and the only reason I didn't is because it was a couple inches too big to fit into my home entertainment center. That's a damned nice keyboard too!
was a pretty popular case, went to my nephews place and he got the same one when he built his computer. it's HUGE.
Eh, it's smaller than some other ATX cases I've used. Haha. I like big cases for my main power system since it opens up a lot of expansion options, and is way easier to keep cool.
Aww, damn... I'm busted!
I forgot I have fished a few computers & cable boxes out of the trash... Got a 1TB HD out of a trashed cable box, planning on getting home assistant & jellyfin running soon, so a little extra storage always helps!
I predict the 1TB will last you about 3 months until you need more ;) #DataHoarder
