    Yep they are pretty new-ish too (i3 and i5 processors). Unfortunately they sat out all night in the rain, who knows if they are usable or scrap, but either way I'll be happy.

    CPU are pretty durable at the least they should be fine...........Memory sticks a little more susceptible to weather.......Hard drives if present usually can stand up to some weather as long as they are inside the cases.........Motherboards and power supplies may be shot

    PA Philly Suburbs my man. But this is certainly a rare event. Especially because in PA the trash people arent allowed to take computers any more. Usually if I find any its someone trying to sneak 1 or 2 into their normal trash. But this was a ton of them stacked and piled by the curb with other garbage ontop

    Just checked one of them, it has an i7 and 16GB ram........ Pretty exited to get off work later to check them all out....... I am at work so they are in my truck, still out in the light rain, but they all have cases. If only I had a tarp in my car. Ill test them all out later tonight, still a good find either way.

    Edit: it may be closer to 20, Ill upload pics/a thread later today when I unload, I was just cramming it all in as fast as possible this morning. It seemed like a bunch though
