    Question Old PC. Do I sell/break/scrap?

    Morning all,

    Having a clear out and found this old pc in a cupboard.

    Pretty old now, but after people's opinions on what to do with it.

    A7N8X deluxe mobo
    Athlon Barton 3200 cpu
    Radeon X1950 512mb gfx
    2gb pc3200
    465gb hd
    dvr-110 dvdrw

    Was thinking boot fair for 20quid or just pull the hd and chuck the rest?

    Cheers

    You know he grew up as a little shitspark from the old shitflint and then he turned into a shitbonfire and driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance he turned into a raging shitfirestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale and then I can unleash the shitnami tidal wave that will engulf Ricky and extinguish his shitflames forever. And with any luck he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shitwaves.

    Someone might want it, but I'm not too sure.

    I was in contact with a charity that sends items for children in a 3rd world country.

    They happily took a load of old hard drives, but when I mentioned I knew someone who had about 10 x working P4 computers (freshly loaded with Win 7), they weren't interested at all.

    Thanks to Over Carl

    Ive a cracking dell xps laptop here was £1400 brand new won't switch on power surge killed it . I brought it to one repair shop and forgot about it as i bought a new macbook . they had it 3 months went back to collect it and the guy tried to pull a fast one saying because i didn't collect it was threw out . The laptop was sitting in front of me the dozy twat . Im sure its worth a few bob weather to get it fixed or flog it as is. Saying that there is no good repair shops here in NI or it would have been repaired ages ago .


    J-Tag 360 RGH 360, PS3 Super Slim, Xbox 360 Slim, WDTV Live with CFW, Vu+ Solo 2, Dreambox 500HD Connected to 1M Motorised Dish.

    Old tech can be worth more than you think.
    there are lots of stuff still in use that need parts that have
    long stoped being manufacture

    thats why why ram takes a jump when they stop making it
