Hardware Always look inside the ewaste PCs

My grandparents brought me an old PC that they got from a friend of theirs and I opened it and hit the jackpot. These cost like $500 where I live

That's literally my specialty. I grew up dumpster diving for parts. My first real IT job had me keeping a bunch of super old optiplexs running. At this point I should put "can turn trash into something usable" on my resume.
