Poking around on CL's freebies section you can find gems if you're persistent enough. I normally scour the freebies section and have come across some really good pc parts. Unfortunately those parts are posted in areas which are too far away. Not cost effective gas wise.
Well today doing my usual lurking about I stumbled upon a post from someone tossing out an P67 setup. Fired off an email letting them know I'd like to snag them up today. They replied quick and stated the parts will be in a box outside by a laundromat, but that they would not be able to guard it as they're moving. So I hauled ass and got there in 15min and found the box. They were nice enough to kind of hide it from plain view so no one would be able to get to it before me.
So I got home with my dusty treasure box and when I looked inside I found:
MSI P67A-G45 (B3) board with I/O shield
i5 2500k chip
CM Hyper 212 (1st version)
8GB (2x4gb) GSKill Ripjaws X DDR3-1333
MSI GTX570 Twin Frozr III Power Edition OC
And of course all the dust/lint and caked on grime was also included.
So with some cleaning up, I have a pretty decent freebie back-up rig woohoo.
Any of you guys scored freebies from CL?
