What do you do with your old computer?

~DTrinidad Sep 17, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Me? If the computer is still in working condition, I would keep it in case of an emergency. When something goes wrong with a newer computer and it needs to be repaired, I take out the old one that I could use until the new one is fixed. Only disadvantage is that the tech is, of course, outdated and may not be useful today.

If it works, use it for any experiments I may have. If it doesn't, use the working parts to help fix the ones I'm experimenting on.

it's always nice to have a back up. That's mainly what I use my laptop for now.

Off-subject, but the title of this made me think of "What do you do with a drunken sailor?".

I try to keep two computers up and running at all times that can both do what I want. Right now my main is a Core 2 Q6600, GTX 460 1GB, 2x2GB of DDR2 800 RAM, and 1TB + 320GB hard drives, while my backup machine is a Phenom II X3 720 BE, 9800GT, 4x1GB of DDR2 800 RAM, and a 500GB hard drive. If something happens to my main the backup machine is still good enough to do most things I want.

Anything older than that I generally give away or sell for a pittance, usually to friends that have kids so they have some sort of viable desktop to use.

Give away most of the old computers that come my way. Or upgrade em and sell em for a pretty penny. Or fold.

If it's dead then I would recycle it. If not, then... We're keeping Crappy and Ugly to play card games on it at the cottage XD

They make really good end tables.
