No, he stripped out the drives and the graphics card and built himself

possibly overclocked. He seemed quite clueful.
I am guessing he's a gamer - if he was into Folding at home or the like,
this would make a /fine/ backup rig.

I just collected a new PC carcase this morning
which was advertised on
my local Freegle group (i.e., Freecycle by another name) last night.
Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme 6850, 3GHz, 8GB DDR2 RAM. I fitted my own
disks and graphics card.
Apparently, that is the level of specification some people are
throwing out now. Quite remarkable.
It probably "got slow" or "got viruses" and, as such, needed to be
put
in the trash.
Morons.
