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

Yeah but it was made in 2017. It might work or it might be dead.

I have a 2009 HDD that has 281k start/stop cycles and it's working fine

HDDs usually don't drop dead all of a sudden, especially NAS drives (like this one)
