Went out to finish breaking down 50 towers I got in yesterday from one of the local yards. Grab a tower that looks and feels complete. All screws still in it so figured no one had been in it. Though it felt like it had an extra power supply rolling around in it. So i zip the screws out lift the cover off and BAMMMMM. No it didn't explode. Inside was a small ingersoll rand air drill. Out of excitement I ran over to the air hose to see if it works and wuala it does.
Head back over to finish the break down and figured there was bound to be things missing from inside because i had already got one pen pro computer in the same load missing the CPU. To my surprise it was complete. Ram still there heat sink still attached look closer and it was a 486 computer. Lifted the heatsink and the 486 chip is still there. The computer is 100% complete plus a **** good air drill.
Now I'm stuck wondering why or how did it get in there. Maybe someone with no knowledge of tools or scrapping opened it up tossed something heavy they could find to make it weigh more and then buttoned it back up. Will never know but they only got .20 per pound for it at the scrap yard so they sold it for less than a dollar.
