I know it’s got an i5-4570 in it and that lines right up with my old GTX 970 I’ve held onto release date wise. Stick some DDR3, a new cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 for authenticity), and new thermal paste in there and you’re pogging out in Splinter Cell: Blacklist or Assassin’s Creed IV or whatever else we were playing in 2013

    If it’s been there more than a few months you’re probably golden. If you wanna be extra safe, move it to a closet for a couple months before taking it home, just in case.

    Edit: actually, as someone who used to do deal with the old computers. If you wanna be super safe, find out what happens to the old computers. Is there a leasing program that will require them to hunt them down at the end of the fiscal year, do they auction them off, or do they just end up in a warehouse collecting dust until they get yeeted into dumpster /recycling truck? If there’s no lease program, and it’s been there since before October, you’re probably good to go.
