    Partial quote: "A Reddit user found functioning computer parts in the
    trash, including a motherboard with an Intel Core i5 processor that can
    achieve speeds of up to 3.9 gigahertz and a graphics card from what was
    once a gaming PC.
    What happened?

    The Redditor shared a photo of their find with the r/trashtreasures
    community.

    "Wanna know the best part? I just tested it and everything works," the
    Reddit user wrote in a follow-up comment. "This is an entire gaming PC I
    found in the trash. This is crazy I struck legit gold."

    Fellow Reddit users expressed shock at the wasteful disposal. "It's
    insane what people throw away," wrote one commenter.

    I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
    dirty old man.

    Here's your 5 minutes of fame Spalls! Maybe you can springboard this
    into a local TV station's news story.
