Whooo look at this case I found in the trash!

[SWScorch]

My dad works for FedEx and as a result often finds some interesting stuff out on the side of the road to be picked up by the town. Last week he found a large server case. This is a great find- its an older model Enermax FS981 full-tower case, and it came with a UPS, a 12X DVD drive, a modem, a network card, a CoolerMaster heatsink and some fans. And the best part is, aside from some minor scratches to the paint job, its in great condition.

i second the water cooling idea

 

[SWScorch]

Well, chances are my father will keep this case, seeing as I already have two black cases... He has a Duron 800... I dont expect he'll go for the watercooling idea. (Although right now he *is* using my orange modded case, so who knows) It is a perfect candidate for watercooling, but I have no worthy hardware (my AthlonXP 2000+ is happy in its current home... I think)

Nice find!!!!

What's the CPU/mobo that is in it?

 

[SWScorch]

right now I slapped in an old Tyan Trinity 400 and a Celeron 466 I had laying around.. need a video card and it might actually run!

Looks like an ISA card actually.

Great find though...the things that some people will throw out....wow. A friend of mine also found a working PC system in the trash - it was missing like one component, but everything else worked. Crazy.
