Over the years I have built and updated various PC's.... now I have cupboard full of old bit and unused PC's..... Wondering what to do with them, struggling to believe there is much of a market for them.... but the thought of chucking working parts into the skip seems a shame.... I could try the MM, or the bay, or am I wasting my time ? All friends and family are all ahead of this spec, or moved to using laptops. Typically stuff like AMD XP1100, Sempron 2500, ATI9800pro, GFTi4400, and matching stuff of that vintage. In the skip ?????
Some components hold high prices. The top half of the s939 CPU range and DDR1 RAM spring to mind. Just look how much similar parts auction for.
I've Sold some on MM Given some away Thrown some in the bin kept some cables and stuff as spares Made a HTPC. Email one of the dons and ask politely, specifically Werewolf, Thundycat, Fire Wizard, Burnsy2023 email addresses about 2/3rds way down http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/faq.php?faq=vb_user_maintain#faq_vb_why_register
Ok, made a long and some what historic list, and now on MM........ I found an old Voodoo II ...... maybe I should call a museum...LOL.... I forgot to add an item, if I post and add it, I guess that would look like a bump and a ban ?!?!?!
Anything you can't sell, you can Freecycle, or PC world offer a free recycling service, even if the goods were not theirs. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/st...B&page=GenericEditorial&genericeditorial=weee "A: PC World are offering free in store take back so you are able to take your items to our stores. You need not have purchased the equipment in one of our stores."
Im gathering a load of stuff for CEX (google it) as they buy second hand stuff but now that im hear i might MM my list .. id rather my well loved components went to a good home
I either save up enough parts and build a pc, upgrade my older systems, give them away, or bin them if they're not worth anything. Cables on the other hand, I've got boxes full of them!
Well I done most of them idea's, the stuff has been rebuilt in various systems... and now is homeless..... Sell it, yes, .... I'm trying, not much interest so far !!!!...... Doing a price drop when only start at a fiver is amusing !!!
