What Do You Do With Old Computer Parts?

Posted by Hemos on Tuesday September 4, 2001 @05:26AM from the donate-throw-'em-rebuild-'em dept.

yoyoma writes "I am planning to rebuild our desktop computers. What do other slashdotters do with old computer parts? I would prefer to donate them. These are some old parts that I will end up with: two GA-686LX motherboards with PII 233, greater than 224 MB RAM (the new computers will take DDR), some video cards (Matrox) and possibly two ATX cases with 300 watts powersupplies (looking for quieter, smaller cases). Decent enough, but they will have no hard drives, floppy drives, or CD drives. TecsChange, and this other place accept donation of parts. Has anyone done this? What about the receipts for tax purposes?"

What possible use could you have for a CGA card or a 20 meg MFM drive? Please enlighten me. I doubt you can even find CGA monitors to go with the cards anymore.

Just because you like getting your ass fucked by goats doesn't mean we want to see it.

And besides, asswipe, those old stories were painfully put back into the database so that people could still use their viewing preferences instead of looking at a static page. It's no wonder why they removed it.

And besides, what the fuck do we care if the editors remove stupid dumbass comments like that one anyways? I, for one, am not offended that they removed it, as they had good reason. Point me to 1 comment that was removed that wasn't flaimbait and posted by loosers who get their perverse kicks out of firstposts and posting stupid ascii art, then I'll listen to what you have to say.
