You still keep them just in case or they still hold sentimental value, right?

No, I sold them because they have value and contributed to extra budget. Their value lives on in my new build

I still have a Moto G3 that's near useless, can't bring myself to throw it away.

You can always have it hard wired and set it up as a home camera. I'd just toss the battery and cover up any exposed ports just in case if you use it outside

Yah I have my old Asus laptop from highschool.
I could have gotten 100€ at least when I upgraded but I just couldn't give it away.
>>
>>107980822
Yeah, I did now its hard to find a SCSI card to read the old drive. Also the InWin q500 was a good case, I miss it.
>>
>>107980822
Not only did I trash my first PC along with its CRT monitor but I also dismantled the hard drive because I was 15 and thought that was the responsible thing to do. What a fucking moron I was but that's what happens when you get your advice from GameFAQs.

Every time I see an image of pretty women I get very sad because I am a 22 year old KHHV with no female friends or acquaintances and I know that I will die without ever having sex.

I found my first computer, from around twenty years ago.
I powered it on just for fun. Then saw a little red switch on the back. Got curious. Flipped it, saw sparks and smoke, it didn't turn on again, threw it away.

Depends on how much the sentimental value weighs against the resale value.
My GTX 1080 could probably go for about $100 but I would never sell it.
On the other hand, I just view my phone as an appliance and I usually just trade it in when it's a few years old. iPhones in particular hold their value very well.

Why would I keep my old pcs?
>Cost of space and moving it between new houses
>In most cases, there's no going back: few distros are still x86, cert issues on old os/browsers, some things have no replacements: rubber bands on old floppy drive readers
>What can you use that core duo for besides gaming?

hoarding is bad for your health.

>>107980822
No, I give them away for free to my cousins or I sell them for cheap to friends

This is my hard drive.
I hoard and hoard and hoard, then get depressed and just delete everything, only to resume hoarding a few months later.

I don't throw away anything electronic because i can use their parts for future repairs like this fuse i need for a fan that i got from a xmas decoration
>>
>>107980822
I threw away my old, big desktop cases but kept every other component in a storage case. Some stuff is still useful to have as a backup. My old GPU/R9 380 can still be used in my current PC, resale value is pretty low for it anyway.

nope still have my old gaming PC and have a brand new 580 in its box.

I appreciate your naiveness
>>
>>107980822
I sold / gave away a bunch of older stuff (or it broke) from when I was younger, mostly because I used the money I got for selling my old stuff to finance my upgrades back then. Got a decent career going since then and I've kept components since. Kind of wish I kept more stuff, but I'm still glad some pieces survived, like the last CRT monitor we used on the family computer back then and a bunch of CRT TVs. I actually use them if I play older PC games or emulate.
>>
>>107993160
I bough a R9 380 recently to use for emulation, it's one of the fastest cards with a real VGA output which can be used for all the native video modes old consoles ran at, so it can be hooked up to a TV pretty easily and you can play all those games on their intended display.
