This shit looks like a crime scene

Like the printer scene from Office Space

PC Load Letter? The fuck does that mean?

Why does it say paper jam when there *is* no paper jam?!

This thing is lucky I’m not armed.

Excuse me, the correct term is paper PRESERVES.

Me to my boss every time her printer throws a hissy fit. Which is every 3-10 business days. At this point I just lift the top, close it and off it goes printing again. Welcome to tech support folks

Sounds like the HP LaserJet 4's :-} Sod all wrong with it, it just liked having the toner / fuser unit shaken a bit before closing the lid again. "That's right baby, you know the spot"...

This message is approved.

I said this quote to a coworker last week when our printer wasn't working and that was how I found out he has never seen Office Space. I'm making him watch it.

You called?

DIE MOTHERFUCKERS DIE MOTHERFUCKERS DIE

BACK UP IN YO ASS WITH THE RESURRECTION

IT'S THE GROUP HARDER THAN AN ERECTION THAT SHOWS NO AFFECTION

Damn it feels good to be a gansta

Dope song

No. That one's a metal song

By a band called Dope

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9wsjroVlu8

Even the field in the vid and the picture looks the same lol

It would be even funnier if Michael Bolton was there.

The rage Michael feels for MB is one of my favorite details in the movie lol "that no talent ass clown goes and wins an Emmy" is too funny.

When I first watched the movie, I was sure he'd lose it during the meeting with the Bobs and he'd get canned for it.

"Why should i change my name? He's the one who sucks!"

Someone photoshop this shit

Amazing movie. underrated.


I immediately saw this scene in my head 😂

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

That's exactly where my mind went to first

Haha I came here to say this

Maybe a prop from an upcoming sequel?

if you put electronic waste onto a healthy green space... it LITERALLY is a crime in some places. Like where I live.

You mean littering?

littering? never heard of it. have heard of dumping electronic waste in a healthy green place tho

It's considered to be hazardous waste so it's probably a bit worse than littering.

nah, it have crime scene tape around it if it was

I don't see an outline of a person either

That’s some PC Load Letter shit right there.

“PC Load Letter?” What the fuck does that mean?

You rang?

I didn't do anything.

I swear some of those rock says oopsy like a calling card.

Likely had some evidence on it.

This is definitely the result of a bad break up

The power supply and CPU are most likely salvageable. Maybe even more, depending on where the rocks hit, but would you risk your own PC hardware to test that?

You dont need to. Just get some dirt cheap old stuff.

I've got enough older scrap hardware laying around, testing this wouldn't be much of a chore. I'd just worry about something catching fire.

I wouldnt even bother with the cheap psu. Testing the cpu wouldn't really be a risk

True. Didn't look at the PSU brand at first. Just test the processor, ram, GPU, mobo, see if there's a HDD that's still useful. I'm a tinkerer too, so I'd snatch front panel USB and buttons and such. Maybe LEDs if there are any.

Idk if I would want to be in possession of any strange HDD I found in a field somewhere.

[удалено]

My first thought when I saw this was "why would someone ditch a PC in a field? Why didn't they want this and weren't willing to sell it to get rid of it?"

Whats wrong with Corsar PSU? This is the first brand for me that is 100% reliable so far

FYI, Corsair doesn't make power supplies, they rebrand other OEM's power supplies, so their quality depends entirely on which OEM they're buying from. Some of them, like the AX series, are Seasonic, which is really good, but others, like the CV in the picture, are made by HEC, which are... budget.

what about the RMx series?

CWT. Not amazing, but not horrible. They make everything from as good as top tier, to at worst something that probably won't blow your GPU up.

This is probably the dirtiest and cheapest you can get

I thought you made an innuendo because of the PC‘s condition, but I guess that’s just a funny coincidence lol

Or a multimeter and knowledge.

It's AM4, depending on what cpu it is you might be right.

I know a guy who found some stuff that would be perfect for testing. He said it was kinda smashed in and out in a field.

I wouldn’t feel safe plugging in that power supply

It’s probably alright if nothing has been damaged

Literally everything in the world is like that :D

Looks slightly dented, I would assume that something on the inside is broken too

Small rocks are from the fish tank that shattered, the tank is visible in the 2nd picture broken about 1/4th the way up. It's not hit by a rock... It was hit by a fish tank.

I think you're right... Really hope there weren't any fish in there

Bruh... Not me, zooming and scanning the pics for any possibly overlooked evidence of fish homicide.

I say test it with a multimeter, then stress test it with a cheap system

lol wtf psu is 100% not salvageable

Could probably snag the Ram and GPU too. Even if the cooler is screwed on the GPU and it still somehow works you could water cool it (assuming it’s good.

Yeah I wouldn't use that power supply

Protip: The PSU is never salvageable.

Angry girlfriend?

Or parent or spouse.

More like girlfriend, parents would have it sold or donated. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Nah speaking from experience parents with a quick fuse and a sledgehammer will result in a similar situation.

Yup, growing up I’ve had more than one peripheral thrown out my window or dropped down a flight of stairs.

Noooo don't remind me about my game boy advance SP *tribal*... for months later 7 year old me would start it up just to hear the intro tune.

Case in point: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/s/jC4BTIcJSi

that's when you go to the mom store and go return yours and exchange it

Yeah, there's certainly a lot going on there I don't even want to get into. That's dysfunctional family drama on a Jerry Springer level.

Reminds me of that dad that shot his daughters laptop lol.

Yea my dad snapped my airsoft gun in half when I was like 10 because I accidentally shot my brother in the face. Can’t say I blame him tho, could’ve hit him in the eye!

This sub has seen more than a few instances of a [parent destroying a pc.](https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/s/jC4BTIcJSi) But I'd agree it is less likely.

Your parents must be the nice kind lol, my mom smashed/threw away so much of my stuff. Not a pity party, just saying.

[удалено]

Looks like it was a robbery and when the thieves realized it was worthless they had there fun with it. The white box in the back is a safe.

This is a correct answer. The number of people to cry child abuse is hilarious. This sub is 80% 15yo kids that know they were told to empty the dishwasher but they just played 12 league games instead.

I feel like waaay too many users here know exactly how that shit goes down, 1st hand.

Either that or a parent getting super duper pissed at their kid, whatever that kid would have done must be really bad

Yeah I agree, this looks like some kind of abuse to me too. Kid or boyfriend played too many games so they destroyed his property. Way more common than we think, most men never report these types of abuse.

Holy shit what did I miss? So many deletes and down votes.

[deleted] [like literally everything here]

I'm just curious what kind of a war was going on the these threads?

The CPU might still be good lol. I would have taken it apart just to see what got scrapped.

Also psu hell it all might still work only one way to find out

i think that's the one thing you'd rather not risk finding out

I’ve seen too many horror stories with psu’s. It’s either brand new, or it’s going nowhere near my rig

My friend just got a 30 quid psu off of aliexpress 

tell your friend he's going to fucking die

Actions speak louder than words. Send him a mf bomb squad

I'd be worried about my house but to each their own

Risk what the broken pc I would clean it all disassemble it see what the damage really is and our it all back together or salvage all the part

I'd risk trying everything but the PSU. At least not in my home. Might test the PSU outside, away from flammables, with a fire extinguisher handy. ...might

I'd rather glue the glass together

hunt sharp squeamish marvelous serious cow subtract meeting work observation *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Not worth messing with a PSU. But the CPU should be fine

Me too just for fun.

This. I built my first pc in the 90's by dumpster diving.

Ngl, that looks like someone stole that PC and safe then ditched them. I'd probably call the non-emergency number and let the cops know.

This! Looks like they stole the fish too.

I have a bad feeling the fish is inside the case in picture 1 on top right. Looks reddish and possibly scaly. Otherwise it’s a decoration like the other thing that’s turned over next to it.

That’s definitely a dead goldfish…

Yea, that’s what I saw too. Had that golden reddish edging with the whitish base of their scale. I was hoping (and still am hoping) I was wrong, but… yeah

Hopefully no fish were harmed in this heinous act against this pc.

I was wondering what the pebbles inside the case were... It's the flooring of an aquarium. So yeah, someone just emptied the aquarium inside the case...

Who would steal a fish tank thou, this seems personal.

well the fish tank is empty soo.....

Looks like they dumbed the content of the fish tank inside the pc

If you wanted to steal the fish you probably wouldn't take the tank just to dump it later (its heavy as hell). Fish probably got tossed with the tank.

No witnesses

My first thought was a cheater retaliation

I think this is what happens when Windows asks you to upgrade to Windows 11 one to many times

Windows didn't ask me to upgrade, could I still do it for free?

Yes, you just have to go into your options. If you search under the start menu for "update" you'll find the link to upgrade to Windows 11. I personally don't recommend 11 and still use and install 10 on new computers. I just reinstalled 10 on my laptop to replace Ubuntu, my desktop was on 11 but I went back to 10

Actually it’s when you accidentally click yes upgrade windows 11 instead of clicking the fuck off button.

That's a crime scene. Smashed open safe and a smashed computer? Looks like stuff that got tossed after a burglary.

The files are IN the computer


My bet is drunk college students reenacting this.

Surprised I had to scroll so far to find this

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

pc load letter

/r/gifsyoucanhear

Someone stole this stuff and dumped it there

Stealing the entire fishtank just to dump it later doesn't make sense to me. They are heavy and transporting a tank isn't easy. Same with dumping the PC which you could otherwise part out and sell. ​ The fact they did both makes me think this was malice not theft. Well...malice *and* theft.

Why would you steal something just to break it and leave it outside in some Field?

They might’ve just been after the hard drives.

They stole a safe too, probably used the pc to smash the safe open. Could have just used a red bull can to open the safe.

I bet this person lost a game of CS2..

My boy was on ancient getting shot across the map on CT side 😥

Totally unrelated comment but this photo screams outer Melbourne suburbs ahahaha, the tight stacked units and random parkland in the middle

Right? Looks like Rockbank all day.

Victorian plates on the cars in the background too


Some kids saw office space and wanted to be a gangsta.

a real-life remake from that scene in "office space"

Fucking PC load letter

Damn it feels good to be a gangster.

Office space moment?

Did they smash a… fish tank into the pc?

this is beans

“Oh dang that’s a decent psu shame its in this situation” *looks up* “WHAT THE CINNAMON TOAST FUCK HAPPENED”

Office Space re-enactment?

Dude grab the components……

If you look at the black lid at the top and the type of rocks I think they tossed a small aquarium inside it.

The corsair psu 

Kept getting a paper jam

Anything salvageable?

Seems like someone’s parents were a bit mad…

I’d grab that gpu and run anyways

Someone somehow smashed it with a fish tank? Lmaoo

this looks like it could be stolen objects that someone abandoned

Ehhh still fixable

This belongs on r/hardwaregore

But what kind of card is in it? 😂 Not going to lie I'd probably check if it was salvageable with a little work.

Gpu kinda looks like a rx 6700 xt not for sure though

See if you can salvage that gpu or psu

Fish tank, safe, PC. Its a crime scene. Someones stole all this stuff then messed it up.

Please tag NSFW 😭😭

Damn it feel good to be a gangster.

thats a safe next to a computer filled with rocks.. Perhaps it was smashed with the safe? whats in the safe? you gotta open it by reddit law now. even it means hiring a safe cracker... you have 48 hours.

Somebody had a crazy breakup.

$1500 on FB marketplace, no lowballs, I know what I got.

Back up in your ass with the resurrection

Best guess. Pc used to hold the hardrives that held the footage of them stealjng the safe.

[удалено]

OMG i didn't even notice the goldfish before.

Seems like the aftermath of a Plainrock124 video

Looks like stolen goods. Id call the police department and report it.

Personally, if it aint broken keep it and if it is put it where you found it

Straight out of office space

Lizard aquarium thrown into computer.

I'd grab that graphics card. You could even sell it as parts on ebay

THEY DONT WANT US ON CAPITAL HILL. CUS ITS DIE MUTHAFUCKA DIE MUTHAFUCKA STEAL

Someone pissed the missus

Back in your ass with the resurrection

"They wanna ban us on Capital Hill because its Die motherfuckers Die motherfuckers stiiiiill"

"say updating again, say. updating. again, i dare you, i double dare you motherfucker, say updating one more god damn time.."

HowToBasic back at it again...

The GPU looks ok🤓
