Where do all the cases go...

[DHR]

Both a practical and spiritual question

I've been trying to find an old beige 'computer fair' case we used to use for builds many years ago, with little luck, those that are available are battered and listed by bay chancers.

The experience has really got me thinking about e-waste though, and as per title, where did all the cases go given they're not small items?

Default response is generally landfill, but looking back at some of the old cases I owned, even the cheap ones, I would like to think the metals were maybe recycled? Am I too hopeful?

Yeah selling and buying older stuff is seldom fun and without risk.

My hunt will continue!

I'd assume the bulk, even in landfill would have been separated out into scrap recycling, you'd hope at least.

@Glanza if you fancy rehoming one of the beige ones let me know, as I say I'm looking for something on the older side for a project

Where are you based? shipping wouldn't be a option sadly.

Up in the north west but I make any excuse to go to York on a regular basis, so if you don't mind holding onto one for a short while I don't mind a trip over
