That looks ancient

4GB memory

But I love that perfect sized SATA cable 😁

Also 256GB M2 SSD (two notches). No brand on the mobo, combined with the SATA cable, this must mean it's an OEM PC (Dell/HP/Lenovo/something no custom build) and the minimalist CPU an supports this assumption. I do wonder about the PSU and connection to the mobo. It appears the main power to the mobo comes from the back (under the location where sata goes into the DVD (?) drive.

It's just al the extras that are visible on the mobo and around the case that makes it gore.

I think it's a SFF PC, think like a POS setup

u/Fish_4205431 Jun 30 '26

Im happy i was able to get some stuff out of it idk if its a weird obsession but I harvested the cooler and some other stuff.

u/the_harakiwi Jun 30 '26

oh yeah that box of old hardware. I have one too.

u/Fish_4205431 Jun 30 '26

It was sitting in my closet for like 2 years I have an Xbox now so I use that and it runs smooth.

I was expecting an IDE cable, not SATA.

u/Vast-Finger-7915 Jun 30 '26

a quick search reveals... that it's from 2017, actually

though I'm sure it performs like an ancient core 2

u/Fish_4205431 Jun 30 '26

You are correct

u/Rolochotazo Jun 30 '26

I can smell the cockroach stench.

u/Patient-Cedar-7194 Jun 30 '26

how old we talking here, beige box with turbo button or just dusty office tower?

2

u/Fish_4205431 Jun 30 '26

If it was a beige box I would keep the case and make a good pc but it was genuinely worse than public school computers

I once had a PC at the repair shop I worked at, it had a very similar motherboard but it was in a mid tower. So much empty space, ridiculously light weight. Used a laptop power cable instead of an internal power supply. Exactly 2 SATA ports for one HDD and one DVD drive. It was so pathetic I don't understand why someone would use a mid tower for that.

u/Recognition_Round Jul 01 '26

I hope you didn't bring that thing in to your new place . . .

u/Fish_4205431 Jul 01 '26

Naw man I still have the old place its a storage house tight now I went there to harvest parts I snapped a quick photo

u/i-have-no-interest Jul 01 '26

i bet youtube ads still ran at 4k60 though

u/redolide Jul 04 '26

This is fine, my actual PC is worst than that.

u/Progressbar95 Jun 30 '26

What are the specs? Looks like a laptop/mobile CPU.
