You know... I wonder what you used to take these awesome photos... ðð
This reminds me of the first pc I bought, back in 2000. I think it was an HP? All I know, is it was being used by the rental company I was working for. They used it to keep track of their U-Haul sales. How they even managed to do that... I've no idea LOL. I paid $100.00 for the whole thing; tower, keyboard, mouse, monitor... I'm thinking it was running Win 98 LOLOLOL. Anyway... I bought an extra memory stick, from a guy I knew. Put it back together... pushed the power button... nothing.
It was then, that I learned how expensive pc repair was. I also learned the importance of the "stand offs" (those little screws, that secure your motherboard, and keep the motherboard from touching the side of the tower ðĪĢðĪŠð)... I digress. I think what you are doing, is quite clever. One man's trash, is indeed one mans treasure. My last pc build, was back in 2006. So as you can imagine... I do not have the knowledge to help on this. However.... I'm going to TAG a Soul Brother, that might be able to share some words of wisdom! 
I'm hoping you have some good news about this, dear soul. Look forward to seeing what you find out!!
