What to do with no use parts.

gooober · 12 Jan 2021 at 09:49

Hi all, so basically I got given a p.c where everything is to old to do anything with. What do you guys advise me doing?

I have

Intel i5 750 o.c at 4ghz.

Gtx 960 2gb (selling on ebay)

H65 corsair cpu cooler

Stealth x tream 2

P7p55d-e motherboard.

They are just all so old I can't sell them. Should I take them to the tip? Local computer store ?

I'm pretty sure the motherboard will fetch £50 on the bay.

Do you have a backup PC? If not keep that lot for when your PC goes pop. My backup PC is even older.

Find a charity, there's going to someone out there that can't afford a PC and could make use of it. It would be a shame to just throw working hardware away.

I recommend this. Try some charities as a lot of places will love a working pc to do work on.

A lot of small charities depend on these donations. It may be old to you, but if they're on something from the xp era, it's a huge upgrade.

Thanks will look into this when this covid has gone. As all my local ones do not accept anything at the moment so something for thought. Thanks!

Failing that if you do end up throwing it away make sure it goes to a proper recycling centre and not just in the bin.

You could use it as a media center if you don't have one, fill with drives and install something like UNRAID then you can rip all your movies to it
