Scrapyard wars inspired me

So on October 9th hurricane matthew hit and it was a great time. Living directly in the path of the hurricane my power not only flickered but surged. Surge protector be damned my computer still got put to rest. 
So after watching scrapyard wars I figured "Hey this could work"

and this is the absolutely fantastic not quite budget computer I got for exactly 210$

 

the micro atx board is the only thing I wish i could've changed but it came with the processor pre installed and they only wanted 35$ for it so who could turn down a deal like that.

Did you use the old case?

Nope! the guy who sold me the ram had this old NZXT source 210 with some weird custom decal job on it. He was just going to throw it away and after some TLC its good as new. It also came with a bunch of fans

Now that is a bonus. Nice find!

Oh i forgot to mention it came with a corsair AIO water cooler for the CPU. Heres a picture.
Disregard the dust, this was after assembly but before initial boot. Being all the parts were used it took about a full can of air duster to get things spic and span

Damn those are the specs of my pc which cost like £500 a couple of years ago.

I edit my posts a lot.

Yeah! The graphics card is pretty great too. Never goes above 44 degrees Celsius unless overclocked. Just goes to show there are great deals out there. 
One recurring theme I kept running into was "My wife is making me sell this"
