I got into tech from collecting thrown away old "not working" PCs when I was age 12-15, 90% of the parts still worked. I upgraded my first PC a Pentium 3 866Mhz to a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz for free, a bios setting was preventing the PC from booting, all I had to do was clean cmos button. LUL

@@owenward7355 It takes effort to search around and if you get lucky like bryan/tech yes city then you have yourself a pc picked up on the side of the road.
@@owenward7355 In certain parts of Australia and other places, every so often (it varies), the city runs a promotion where you leave junk outside and the city picks them. So there's another youtuber who goes around on that day to snap up computers and other recyclable stuff to melt down and sell as scrap.
@@owenward7355 Alternatively, some people advertise on local facebook or craiglist, they'll leave stuff outside and you can grab it free. I was super lucky and picked up an i5-3470, 6gb RAM, asus motherboard. Like tech city, my system was missing side door, no power supply and the cpu fan was busted. The person gave it away and had listed it as pickup beside garbag bin of apartment complex. Naturally, freebie deals get snapped up instantly so you have to be constantly checking facebook/craiglist.
This is why I love your videos over Jay and Linus Tech and other tech shows... you make magic out of perfectly good older equipment. Good shit brother!
As soon as I noticed the triple ram slots I was like "He's got an x58" then you said it was an x58 and it made my day! Haven't seen those triple ram slots in years!
I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I picked up a Lenovo ThinkCentre PC for less than $50, and it came with an I5 4570 and 8gb ram. I upgraded the CPU to an I7 4790, added another 8gb ram, added to SSDs, and bought a used 1050 ti, and I love it! So thank you for your videos!!
Tech YES BANGER; love it! THIS is what we want, not the new sponsored stuff we can never buy! More garbage to greatness, more former "e-waste" to EXTREME POWER! There's life still in the old parts yet!
I bought one of those motherboards for 40aud as a “not working”... reset the bios and it booted first shot. It lives as my gtx960 turbo of 4gb sli 20gbram junker pc! The power supply and boot drive(120gb patriot inferno) were also on the side of the road.... the ssd had windows 7 that I upgraded to w10 free. Love the junker pc and the tower I put it in supports hot swapping . Great boards those udr3 x58 boards.
@@iliaslive7006 i have this gigabyte h55 motherboard in a computer, and it cannot recognize any SATA drives, no matter what I do. Only one SATA port kinda works.
Love the content. I also recently got a free pc which has an i3 4170, a 4gb stick of ddr3 ram, lenovo motherboard, cheap 200W power supply, and a 500gb HDD. I added an SSD another 4 GB stick of ram and a GT1030 and now I can play all low and some mid level games for around $175 U.S. Best deals right now are the kind where you find free old rigs and upgrade them with lower end components. Thanks again for inspiring me to find and upgrade low end pc's. It's fun and helps some kids in my local area
Finding discarded desktops in the wilderness sure could be useful in some way. If the parts from the inside are no good, just get rid of them and replace them with fresh, new, up-to-date parts. Only the desktop case matters to keep, not the old parts from its inside.
I live in a unit here in Sydney NSW. It's quite a large complex and we have council cleanups twice a year. As a result there is often HUGE piles of rubbish dumped out the front. It honestly amazes me what people throw out. I snagged a working first gen i7 pc a few years ago. Also snagged some gt 710s and even a 750ti once. Unfortunately, it's getting rarer to find old pcs on the roadside because the bloody council has banned putting computers out on the cleanup anymore. You are now supposed to take them to a special 'ewaste' collection point. Council rates increase yet the services decrease :/ The last cleanup we had only 1 person broke the rule and put out a pc this time. But it was some old pentium 4 garbage with no ram or HDD.
@@michaelxdrift Actually used a 400W power supply on an i7 920 and gtx 1060 combo, but it was a quality PSU, FSP is in the TOP 3 best manufacturers in my experience, with seasonic and superflower. Don't worry I now have a 650W, but the 400W did work, still don't recommend it tho.

I would've loved to see your immediate reaction when you saw the PC on the road. I just can imagine a car casually going by and then suddenly, 'hits brakes and puts it into reverse'.
I've never found a PC on the side of the road, but I have found a nearly new CRT TV with the remote here in the US before about a year after the digital switch over in early 09, but I do often find some good stuff at the local recycle drop off in the e-waste bin like working Apple Macbook Pros, fully working Amazon Kindles(they usually just need a battery), I3, and I5 HP desktops, etc... So yeah I love these kind of videos as I hate how much e-waste we as humans tend to create over the years, and love showing people that some of this older gear can still be very useful.
I remember at my old apartment complex I never really extra money for projects. One day taking the trash out to the community garbage dump, I found some old pc that had extra ddr2 ram that I used to run a small q6600 quad core machine. Grats on the find
I just resurrected 2 Lenovo USFF PCs I found at my local thrift shop. I also found 20V 3.42A Lenovo power bricks locally, and all I had to do was add 240GB SSDs to both and they're zipping along nicely for being Pentiums. Already got a local interested in the one with WiFi built in, and the other one I chucked in some spare DDR3 I had spare to bring it up to 8GBs. Goof fun, and pleasing to see these little boxes saved from e-waste.
Great find and great video. I am so glad I got my RX 570 8GB OC on sale in early 2020 for my upgraded Dell Precision T1600 just before the first lockdowns. I paid 200 Canadian which is usually on par with the Aussie dollar. Now the same video card is more than double that. Absolutely nuts.
Guess I gotta get into this roadside pickup stuff. My dad always got things like lawnmowers and leaf blowers off the road and fixed em up. Time to find a pc!
I am still using an x58 Republic gamer's edition MB, with an I7-980X CPU, 24gig of Ram, 2xHD7970 GPU's, 1200Watt Silverstone Strider PSU, I do not play any newer games than BF4 n I still most love playing COD4 modern warfare, so it should last me many more years to come I hope.

Interesting comments on GPU shortage. Up here in Canada (a bit off the beaten track, Aussie POV-wise, I realize), I paid $150 CDN for a GeForce GT 1030 2GB DDR5 and it was a real "deal" (for a card that realistically should have been about $70). When you throw in GST tax, shipping, etc., these cards end up being REALLY expensive... anything that will run modern games at a decent frame rate and resolution is unaffordable. Love the channel, mate! Keep up the good work!
Many years ago (2005?) I was walking to Uni and passed a skip which had a computer case in it. After I finished up at uni, I walked past the same skip and it was still in there, so I fished it out. It had an AMD Duron, which even at the time was old, but it booted up no problem. I gave it to a friend along with an old monitor so she could do coursework at home. It's amazing what people will throw away.
i wish i’d see more of these roadside pcs as i’m the sort of person to not use it for anything in particular, but more something for me to mess about with
Dammm look at this make me remember my X58 system... using it until 2019 and finally upgrade to 1950X and still using my 1950X is working pc and normal gaming.
A gigabyte x58 with an i7 and a GTS 250 seems eerily familiar! Mine, with a few sticks of ddr3, a w3680 from China and an RX580 8gig I rescued from a miner during last summer, got me through the 2nd wave of the pandemic like a champ!
So nice to see some different content when all the big youtubers are just building new PC's with some weird GPUs that don't really exist in real world like 3080/3090 or what not.
Nice BRIAN does it again. THX dude. The famous first gens of intel are the best like i7-2600, 2700 k and non k versions and the legendary i7-3700k I still use for gaming and it works great. bought it of aliexpress for cheap price like 80€ (90$) back then and it still works great on MSI MOBO top quality and stability motherboard H61M-P20 (G3) Couldn't wish for more. When i built it never expected such performance paird with wd red 1tb and SSD for Win 10 pro. Plust got the 1660 card for about 200€ 1year ago and installed it in. Works MAGICLY!!! (Also the RAM I bought of aliexpress for about 50€ 16GB DDR3 with 1600MHz)
PC's found on the roadside is my gig, brother. The things people throw out is beyond imagination these days. WA Potato Hunter reprazent. I've found 4GB Quadro's, Z series HP workstations [420's etc], entire ram raisers with 32GB of A OK sticks........ the list goes on. My current daily driver was built from trash aside from the RAM and GPU. It's an i7 4770 I found in an Intel Desktop mobo. I just threw 32GB of Corsair Vengeance and an MSI Radeon RX 570 X 4GB in it. It happily smashes the entire Adobe 2021 suite, DAW software and plugins, CSGO, Farcry 5.
I just recently start watching your channel thank you for all your good advice and tips I do the same thing to make a living and I really enjoy it . I found to computers on the side of the road and have been able to restore both of the them.
Seriously! I've been on RUclips since the beginning.. and I've never noticed that bell, before you said it at the end of this video! xD Has it been there for ages.. or is it pretty new? :P Love your videos btw!
Good find. I used to find some sort of tech in apartments dumpster once maybe every month. I live next to big semiconductor factory, they employ lots of people from all over, India and china. Large disposable incomes that get spent on tech. Once they are here long enough to buy a house or their VISA's are up, they move and throw everything away. Lots of good stuff, like new. Unfortunately the homeless population has exploded during the pandemic together with our lax'd drug laws, it has brought in a lot of new scavengers. I find nothing now or will at times get interrupted by a tweaker looking for anything he can pawn.
For the past couple weeks Ive been buying HP z240 workstations for $30 each and they have an i7 6700 and no ram/storage so I've spent basically $30-40 on ram for each one and I got 2 1070's and a rx 5808gb for $190 for all 3 and then I got a 1070ti and a 1660super for $100 each. So far I've sold 2 computers for $400 each with about $150 in them. its so fun!
I just resurrected a 3770K asrock extreme 4 with case with ssd, wifi, Noctua U 12S, and hard drive for grand daughter. I added a Nvidia 950 GPU I had and it runs like a top. Cleaned up the mobo and case well and it hums along pretty well. Ivy Bridge copes pretty well with modern day tasks.
Loven the content, funny as brian. After killing my mobo on my old HP z230 sff. I bought a replacement p.c(used your code for windows activation) 8th gen i5 ,16 GB ram and a 1070ti, 750gold PSU modular, NZXT H400 case paid$1200. Then today I score a GeForce RTX 3070 Asus k.o GPU for $1300 not even sad that it's cost me$2500 for a awesome rig😁
To be great you must inspire , to inspire you must be great ..... And that you are doing sir! The Tech YES City way of life is basically how trying to make the most fun and a few $$ along the way and i get to do what i love build.fix,restore! Keep the video`s coming big shout out from across the pond from canada! I cant lay a screw driver or sata cable down now my youngest son takes off with them so its a good sign
Nice job, man!! That's a decent rig considering the platform!! It always irks me when some rich kid throws away a perfectly good gaming rig just because one little thing doesn't work right or they messed with it, ruined it and asked their parents for a new one. I used to live near a big garbage dump and they had a section specifically for PCs and PC parts. I would pull so much working stuff out of that pile it wasn't even funny. One example was a rig that was perfectly fine except it had a dead video card and mismatched RAM (a 533 stick and a 667 stick). I bought a budget video card (Radeon HD 7750) and some Corsair RAM and got the thing up and running for about $250 USD. Ran well for years.

Dammm look at this make me remember my X58 system... using it until 2019 and finally upgrade to 1950X and still using my 1950X is working pc and normal gaming.
I hope the X58 build is still somewhere doing some work. As a secondary machine for when friends come over or as a homeserver or HTPC.
OMG!
This is awesome!
One person's trash IS another person's treasure!
A gigabyte x58 with an i7 and a GTS 250 seems eerily familiar!
Mine, with a few sticks of ddr3, a w3680 from China and an RX580 8gig I rescued from a miner during last summer, got me through the 2nd wave of the pandemic like a champ!
So nice to see some different content when all the big youtubers are just building new PC's with some weird GPUs that don't really exist in real world like 3080/3090 or what not.
On the road! Now that needs some Tech YES LOVIN! The best deals!
Seeing you after a long time man! How are you?
Marco the man the myth the legend
You have me cracking up. Great video.
Nice BRIAN does it again. THX dude. The famous first gens of intel are the best like i7-2600, 2700 k and non k versions and the legendary i7-3700k I still use for gaming and it works great. bought it of aliexpress for cheap price like 80€ (90$) back then and it still works great on MSI MOBO top quality and stability motherboard H61M-P20 (G3) Couldn't wish for more. When i built it never expected such performance paird with wd red 1tb and SSD for Win 10 pro. Plust got the 1660 card for about 200€ 1year ago and installed it in. Works MAGICLY!!! (Also the RAM I bought of aliexpress for about 50€ 16GB DDR3 with 1600MHz)
PC's found on the roadside is my gig, brother. The things people throw out is beyond imagination these days. WA Potato Hunter reprazent. I've found 4GB Quadro's, Z series HP workstations [420's etc], entire ram raisers with 32GB of A OK sticks........ the list goes on. My current daily driver was built from trash aside from the RAM and GPU. It's an i7 4770 I found in an Intel Desktop mobo. I just threw 32GB of Corsair Vengeance and an MSI Radeon RX 570 X 4GB in it. It happily smashes the entire Adobe 2021 suite, DAW software and plugins, CSGO, Farcry 5.
Congrats on 501K!
I just recently start watching your channel thank you for all your good advice and tips I do the same thing to make a living and I really enjoy it . I found to computers on the side of the road and have been able to restore both of the them.
Seriously!
I've been on RUclips since the beginning.. and I've never noticed that bell, before you said it at the end of this video! xD
Has it been there for ages.. or is it pretty new? :P
Love your videos btw!
The notification bells have been around for years.
I played games way back in the day on some real jank old pc's for many years, so through my eyes this is one top tier gamer
Good find. I used to find some sort of tech in apartments dumpster once maybe every month. I live next to big semiconductor factory, they employ lots of people from all over, India and china. Large disposable incomes that get spent on tech. Once they are here long enough to buy a house or their VISA's are up, they move and throw everything away. Lots of good stuff, like new. Unfortunately the homeless population has exploded during the pandemic together with our lax'd drug laws, it has brought in a lot of new scavengers. I find nothing now or will at times get interrupted by a tweaker looking for anything he can pawn.
This was an absolutely amazing video tbh 😍🔥🔥
"Yo Adrian" Great Score!👍
For the past couple weeks Ive been buying HP z240 workstations for $30 each and they have an i7 6700 and no ram/storage so I've spent basically $30-40 on ram for each one and I got 2 1070's and a rx 5808gb for $190 for all 3 and then I got a 1070ti and a 1660super for $100 each. So far I've sold 2 computers for $400 each with about $150 in them. its so fun!
Sooo relaxing! love these videos, and still love X58✊
Who leaves a working x58 motherboard by the side of the road. Youd have to pry mine from my cold dead fingers! So jealous of your find.
Absolutely love price to performance PC's that you do 👍
I just resurrected a 3770K asrock extreme 4 with case with ssd, wifi, Noctua U 12S, and hard drive for grand daughter. I added a Nvidia 950 GPU I had and it runs like a top. Cleaned up the mobo and case well and it hums along pretty well. Ivy Bridge copes pretty well with modern day tasks.
Simcoe County, Ontario is doing a 2 week curbside e waste pick up in one week, I wonder what will get thrown out 🤔
IMO the best places to go when there is an Ewaste collection is in suburbs where the rich live, you will be surprised at what gets thrown out.
@@fullboostturbo1 I found an EVGA 1050TI and Gigabyte Z170 mobo with 2400 16gb ram at a house 😊
Scratching off the old thermal paste with a socket cover... I like your style!
Congrats on 500k!!!! Been a fan since you lived in Japan! Where can I get that spray you use Brian??? 👍👍👍
Such a cool old school aesthetic
That BluRay drive still has the plastic peel still on it lol
Love the videos man keep up what ever content you can
Loven the content, funny as brian.
After killing my mobo on my old HP z230 sff. I bought a replacement p.c(used your code for windows activation) 8th gen i5 ,16 GB ram and a 1070ti, 750gold PSU modular, NZXT H400 case paid$1200.
Then today I score a GeForce RTX 3070 Asus k.o GPU for $1300 not even sad that it's cost me$2500 for a awesome rig😁
Don't be mad Brian but I gave the 1070 ti away to a friend who was still gaming on a 660.
Congrats on 500k lets go for 1M in 2022?
Man I absolutely love your content
To be great you must inspire , to inspire you must be great ..... And that you are doing sir! The Tech YES City way of life is basically how trying to make the most fun and a few $$ along the way and i get to do what i love build.fix,restore! Keep the video`s coming big shout out from across the pond from canada! I cant lay a screw driver or sata cable down now my youngest son takes off with them so its a good sign
Nice job, man!! That's a decent rig considering the platform!!
It always irks me when some rich kid throws away a perfectly good gaming rig just because one little thing doesn't work right or they messed with it, ruined it and asked their parents for a new one. I used to live near a big garbage dump and they had a section specifically for PCs and PC parts. I would pull so much working stuff out of that pile it wasn't even funny. One example was a rig that was perfectly fine except it had a dead video card and mismatched RAM (a 533 stick and a 667 stick). I bought a budget video card (Radeon HD 7750) and some Corsair RAM and got the thing up and running for about $250 USD. Ran well for years.
Wow. That's a monster of a Motherboard. A real gold mine indeed.
You're one crazy guy👍Thank you for your continued knowledge.👍
13:41 Oliver Twist!!! LOL!!! I got lucky with Newegg Shuffle and snagged a 3070. I really want a 3080 but I'll take what I can get.
