Just yesterday, I found one of those lying in the snow.  Just the
motherboard and the bottom part of the case (no drives or power supply).
It had a half inch covering of snow.  I wiped away enough to see
what the motherboard was, the banks of DIP memory gave it away before
I had a chance to uncover the CPU, and I dropped it right back in the snow.

Had it been dry, I likely would have dragged the motherboard home for
the memory, though realistically I have plenty of it already from
other junked motherboards I've found, but wet with snow it wasn't worth
it.
