Hello!

This is a long post, so I do apologies sincerely if I bore of you rather quickly except I really want to share this even if odd.

 

Awhile back I had asked about a barren chassis which had been sitting at the back of the schools server room for quiet awhile, one to which I couldn't exactly see particularly well courtesy of the light and by having the technician think I meant the cases in the server racks.

 

Since then I didn't think much of the case as it physically thought that it was a older model of server orientated Lian Li case, which isn't something I think they nor anyone would throw away. Everything from ancient, seriel port roller ball mice to rather laughably scratched floor standing projectors have passed through recently in our schools multiple skips, and I did have feeling it wasn't long before something actually of modern use passed through.

 

And my wait was short lived when I was told after a message going through two of my friends that they'd seen what they thought (When judged by the case's I/O shield which was the only thing first visible seeing it) was just a useless computer probably thrown away for being to large for any of the classrooms or for general practically during the move to our new school building.

 

And so the next day, after asking a confused teacher about taking the case and later finding out that the time I was told to take it at was disrupted by finding out the skip was being removed in the next hour (Stealing is bad), me and my friend find ourselves walking completely causally passed seven teachers to whom all at multiple times shot us both hilariously puzzled expressions right the way throughout our entire school, and all the way down a ten minute walk to a train station amongst questions of 'Is that a speaker?!' and 'Owha why are you carrying whatev that is'.

 

Now reactions like that arent something I think even Intel would be scrambling to put a price on.
