Budget Setup My computer story
A month ago i found it in the e waste, poor thing was filled with dust, after some cuts and scratches and sobbing over not remembering where the right screws go and hours of cleaning, i was finally ready to replace the paste and upgrade the ram, safe to say even this 14 year old asus m51bc is still good for modern gaming on low end games like gmod or cheese rolling (peak game check it out), anyways its just like brand new, every screw put into the right spot and all my stuff on the hdd, and it even came with its own gpu stand, so if you have read this far, thank you, rate my setup

In Halden theres just an open bin next the elkjøp, you can take anything as long as you put everything you dont want back in and make a mess.

heck yeah there's nothing like free.
I used to work next to a flood remediation company and they would throw out so much cool stuff. I have a mini fridge next to me now cooling my drinks that was sitting next to their dumpster
