If there ever was a PC gamer equivalent of the 'One man's trash is another man's treasure' story, it doesn't get any better than what Reddit user 'Siezo' had to say in the PCMR subreddit. The Redditor, who works as a garbage truck driver, found a functioning gaming PC with a 32-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X that originally debuted at $1,999, a stack of 32GB DDR4 RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. All it needed was to be rescued and given some love, a PSU, a storage drive, and a good cleaning with isopropyl alcohol.
The build had an ASUS Prime TRX 40-Pro motherboard, four sticks of Kingston's HyperX Fury DDR4 DIMMs, a liquid cooler - possibly a Fractal Celsius+ S36 Dynamic, a Be Quiet Straight Power 11 series power supply, and two key components — an Asus ROG Strix 2080 Ti 11G graphics card and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X. All these components were inside a Fractal PC case.
