What do you do with your old PC bits?
When you've finished with you computer, either by buying a new one or upgrading/replacing components, what do you do with them?

Combination of 'sell them on' and 'give them away' depending on what they are.
I've actually got quite a few things surplus to requirements right here right now. May put up a 'for sale' thread shortly, not sure.

sometimes I have to chuck the non working parts in the bin
the parts that are old and work end up lying around or put into other machines some of these parts get sold on knock down prices and I think you should add another options something like : leave the part lying around put into another machine

Tend to just hoard them in case I need some in the future - of course that really means they just sit there in a box unused for years

I just got rid of my packard hell recently, but after all the trouble i had over the years with it i would not have passed it on. Motherboard had some error known by the makers! Did keep the slot 1 CPU & RAM. Hard Drive will be put into a usb caddy and used as a back up hard drive.
But if i break up anyothers i will let you know if they are any good for you. What sought of spec are you after Muckshifter? |

unfortunately i recycle my old parts,...
unfrotunate because my local waste center charges 17 dollars a pc to recycle...10 dollars to dump a quarter ton of waste. 600 US LB dont seem right.

If the bits aren't too old then might just sell then or give away... never recycled before might give it a go!
