Woodlouse Hunter, I think,
These are not dangerous. If it is still alive, you should feed it, the poor thing looks pretty hungry. Seeguide page.

He wasn't too happy. I took a photo of him: http://judge-jebus.deviantart.com/art/Computer-Spider-73529868.

Poor guy looked like he hadn't eaten in forever.

Yikes, poor thing!
Reminds me of the "pet sematary" jumper I posted awhile back. (here) Her abdomen was concave and shriveled when I found her outside my workplace. I immediately put her on a wet paper towel at my desk and she swelled back up within a minute or two. She did fine for a few months, even laid a small egg sac, before dying of boredom.

Yep
a pretty skinny spider for sure!
