Yeah, I dumpster-dived a couple (original IBM Model M's), years ago, from the same PC shops that were throwing out working Pentium III / 4 systems. Totally great condition and still working problem-free today! I did have to purchase a couple keycaps on ebay as they were lost when thrown out into the dumpster (knocked off due to hitting other stuff), but really a minor issue!

Yup. I have 5 or 6 of them, all rescued from being thrown out.
