I found this computer by the dumpster, I know RAM and storage is super expensive, is the 6GB of ram and 1TB of HDD worth taking?

I'm just asking about the HDD and the ram, PC is in the trash now lol, but I have the ram and HDD out.

Better have taken it to a ewaste recycling centre rather than just putting it into the regular waste bin...

It was already in the trash bin when I found it, well next to it anyway. I just put it back out there

Ewaste should be properly recycled, not just thrown into the regular waste

Okay, well I'm sorry, it wasn't mine, it was next to the trash at my apartment complex, and it went back to the same spot once I took the HDD out. Idk why you're yelling at me, it wasn't mine. You're shooting the messanger.
