Project Bad Omen - Damage Control - Part 1

I was walking when I came across this severely distressed HP Omen 870 Gaming desktop PC, or rather, what was left of it. It had been left out in the rain, so I assumed it was worth at least an ATX case if it dried out.
Upon examination, the motherboard had been thrashed and several components were missing.
I had this spare motherboard/cpu/ram combo from a friend's old build so it was installed in this case. This hardware is older than the original, but it's working again.
