This computer (the big one on the right) was found in the trash.

 

 The motherboard is an MSI MS7030 K8N Neo Series


Last year I found a PC on the curb someone was throwing away. I brought it home and eventually put in a 500GB hard drive, a Radeon 256MB 9550 graphics card, 3GB DDR 400MHz memory and extra HiSpeed USB 2.0 inputs on the front. It has a AMD 64 bit 2.01GHz CPU and a new operating system. The old system was Windows XP Pro that was up to date but bloated with browser helpers and a full 80GB hard drive. I downloaded and installed Lubuntu 13.10 64 bit Linux based OS.
