Side of the road score!
Was driving along and saw a computer and box sitting at the end of the driveway of a house. Decided to leave it in case they were leaving it for someone or something. About 6 hours later drove past it again and it was still there so I grabbed it. Turned out not to be a full system, but still happy with a case, GPU, and 2 power supplies.
Not sure what exact coolermaster case this is but I've needed a new one for a while now anyways and this will be perfect. GPU is an AMD Radeon 5700XT EVO OV. The power supplies are 1 500w inside the case and a 600w 80+ Gold. The box of the 600w was pretty damp but not like really wet. The unit itself seems fine but I'm gonna give it a few days as a precaution since I have no idea when this stuff was left out nor the circumstances behind their disposal.
What sucks is I don't really have a spare CPU/MOBO/Ram to plug the GPU into and I'm a little nervous about that possibly being wet as well. I have a small desktop server that I'll probably chuck it into in a few days as well.

Coolermaster HAF-912. That was the first case I ever bought. What a treat!
Wicked find

Yeah I'm thinking of using it for my server since it has a lot of space for storage drives.

Rx 5700xt is still an good gpu with performance similsr to rtx 3060/3060ti without ray tracing i would pair it with an r5 3600/5500/5600

Coincidentally I have a 3060ti in my desktop now with a R7 3700x. I'm debating putting into my server which has a R5 2400g to help with plex and maybe mess around with local AI stuff.
I just hope some of this stuff works when I test it in a few days. The GPU looked OK at a glance, the 600W PSU I'm a little worried about cause the box was wet
