so i found this old computer
some of yall know i junk cars for a living. well todat, i went to pick up this 87 bmw 528e. i know i was gonna get hosed on doing the job, but i have this guy who wants the converter so it might be worth my wile.
anyways the guy who sold me the car put 2 computer monitios and a tower in it. most trash companies wont take computers and stuff. i dident give a ---- cuz i was just gonna leave it there and let the junkyard deal with it. i started looking at the tower and began to wonder how good was it. its said pentium 4, so it porb atleast from the last 5 years. it also has a cd burner and dvd player. i know, whoop de do. but, if i can get it to work i guessi can use it to download ****, music and other shyt without harming my "good" system. if your anytihng like me, you have to reload windsows on a clean whipe at least once a year.
so i bring the computer in the house and crack it open. it has a 20.4 seagate hd, 3 sticks of ram. only one is marked 256. i am not sure that the othere are, i am hoping 256. it also has an extra sound car and video card. if it dosent work, ill at least strip it down and try to use some ---- from it like the ram, hd, and dvd player.
i hope it dosent have any kiddy **** or anytihng on it
but i guess my question si, has anyone ever fround a computer and it had some good ---- on it.? i am just dying to see what is on this harddrive. if i every junk my computer, i am removing the harddrive and burning it to nothing with my torch. not that i have anyting illegal on my computer, just enough basic info like log ins and bank info for someone to ---- me
and lastly, any1 know any good programs for cracking windows passwors incase this one is pasword protected

Re: so i found this old computer
yeah, i think the cpu was done. i tired pluging it up and it powered on but nothing came on the screen, the monitor dident power on. so i swapped the video cards and still got nothing. i then decided to put the hard drive into my computer and load it up. it had windows 98 on it. it kept looknig for drivers and ---- and dident load. so i put my harddrive back as the master, and the one from the junk computer as the slave. ther was like 50 virsues and a whole bumch of junk so i just reformatted the hd. the person did use kazaa, napster and limewire but i dident finda anything.
now that i have my 256 and the 256 from the junk computer, whats that thing i can go into on my computer and check my total ram. i seen it before but forgot where it i s. just want to make sure i am getting my whopping 512mb ( i feel so high tech now )
