In Tarreo it is common for us to share these types of stories, even when they seem invented to a large part of the community. But despite that and something that is common in certain countries, where users simply throw them away to exchange them for a new one instead of updating them, a player found in the trash a PC valued at $1,000 dollars, which is largely superior the one he already owned.
A user on the r/pcmasterrace subreddit shared his lucky experience, saying that he came across the PC while walking through his neighborhood. And he was not alone, since apparently his former owner decided to get rid of this computer along with a keyboard, a printer and several monitors. But the biggest surprise has been that the computer has hardware that is much better than what your current PC has, except for the graphics card.

According to him, despite its initial appearance, the computer worked perfectly after a superficial cleaning. When inspecting the components, the surprise was huge: an Intel 9900K processor, an NVIDIA RTX 2070 graphics card, 16 GB of RAM and an 850W 80+ Titanium power supply. A set that far exceeds the lucky user’s current PC. He further adds: “My mind is amazed by what I found. At first it did not boot into the BIOS. But after cleaning the dust layer on the gpu and cpu fan (picture shown is after cleaning), it booted fine.”
“Honestly, most of the parts are better than what I have in my current system. It’s crazy what people throw in the trash,” he says in the publication.
The origin of the equipment is unknown. The absence of storage suggests that the hard drives and SSD were saved for another computer, while the rest were thrown into the trash. It is possible that its former owner chose to renew his equipment and did not bother to sell the “old” parts.
Something they comment on in the responses to the post, where a player says: “I guess it was thrown away involuntarily, it could have been a partner or a parent, I can’t imagine someone putting those pieces in a computer and then leaving it on the sidewalk.” Others also comment with phrases that, although they sound somewhat cliché, are quite real, responding that “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure.”
Player opens his father’s PC after he told him it was too slow and finds so much land that he could grow vegetables on it
Keeping your PC clean is a fundamental task in the proper care of your device, however, despite its importance, many gamers overlook this crucial aspect, assuming that the accumulation of dust and dirt does not significantly affect the operation of their equipment. .
This misperception can lead to serious consequences for the performance and lifespan of the computer. In this sense, a recent example perfectly illustrates this bad habit, since a father surprised that his PC had become so slow over the years realized that the main cause was the accumulation of dirt on his PC. inside.
