So you took advantage of a (charity?) garage sale? Good for you. /s

a community garage sale is not necessarily a charity.  More likely it's just a bunch of neighbors who got together to sell their junk.  The original owner of the PC is probably pissed that the organizer let it go for $20.

Its not a charity thing, I was just volunteering because I need community service hours, the price tag was 20$, and if I hadn't bought it, someone else would've for the same price. Also, its not like Im affluent, I couldnt afford even a 500$ pc, so theres no way I wasn't going to take the opportunity to achieve what I've always wanted.

Also, for those saying he would've noticed the computer, it turns out that I was totally wrong, and I don't know what kind of case it is, because theres no window, and it's shaped slightly differently than a phantom 820

And yeah, I was absolutely shocked that someone would've just given it to a garage sale. But, when I turned it on, the only stuff on there was a bunch of aviation software and simulators. Also, a bunch of viruses. I wiped it.
