Someone I know had an HP laptop with a dead battery and gave it to me. It was awesome at first, until I realized it was originally vista but upgraded to 7, so like no support available. I was also given a Dell USB 2.0 hub that is damn near indestructible.

I dont know the model but I got a mp3 player back when it was cool. The thing had 32 mb of memory and my cousin gave it to me when he upgraded to a 64 mb one... The thing had a card slot so I just added one.They were pretty expensive back then.

My gamer friend gave me his 270x so I could crossfire my 270x. That was nice, he also sold me his 670 FTW for only $200 a few years back. 

 

I eventually gave the other 270x to my brother and then sold the 2nd 270x to him for only $200 so he could crossfire. 

 

I ended up getting a GTX 760. Needed shadowplay so I could record my MOG NO SCOPE KILLS LOL.

Thanks alternate for making a mistake. Although I had some bad luck with these monitors, I'm not complaining.
