Made a good find today!!!

Today, my mom was telling me she saw a trash pile on the side of the road with some computer stuff in it, so I went down there on my way to town.
Pretty good score, too! Three computers as well as monitors... However, the person who dumped them there wasn't too bright, as the computers were ok, but the person threw them and broke two out of three. The third one was the one that was apparently messed up before being thrown, but not enough to really screw it up too much. Since there's not much hope for a physically damaged computer, I just parted them out. All the monitors seemed to be broken from the fall, so I left them. I ended up with a sweet DVD burner and a card with a bunch of usb ports for the Dell, some more memory for the Compaq, a few modems, a video card (it was severely dated and didn't work well, so it's not being used for anything at the moment), 4 hard disks, a CD drive, a wireless internet reciever, some network cards, three power supplies, and one good case.
Here's some pics of the site and the score!
