    So many electronics are thrown out every day, that I’d wager you could find everything you need in just a day. The biggest issue is that they throw things in dumpsters, rather than gently putting them there, which tends to break electronics. But then again there’s so much garbage you could probably find ten of every component and see what works

        Do you want to build a computer or a brand new computer? And no, most PCs are not thrown away because all components inside stopped working. It’s usually either because they’re too slow for the user or just one component broke and the user was incapable of fixing the problem and opted to get a new faster machine instead.
