Hi guys,

Been a long time since I've messed with computers or played computer video games. Out garage saling today I found this computer for $20, offered $10 and walked away with it for $10. Looking to get some advice or maybe info on it, I have no idea if its usable, obsolete, worth investing in, etc. From what I can tell its missing a hard drive and video card? Could be wrong though. What do you guys think? Worth putting a little money into it and use it? Throw it in the metal bin?

Pictures of the case isn't gonna do us much good. It's over 6 years old as the Z170 deluxe only supports up to intel 7 gen cpu's. Since we don't know the history of this and neither do you or the person that sold it to you, we can't guarantee that it will even bootup. It may have integrated video from the cpu depending on what cpu it has. You'll have to attach a monitor that supports hdmi and see if you see any post screens.

So basically, our guess is as good as yours. We have no clue.

Pretty good find for ten bucks though. 32G of RAM? Curious what CPU came inside of it.

Might have to do a little tshoot on it though since there's usually a reason people let them go so cheap. I'd plug 'er up and see what you get.
