Anybody know of a good way to get rid of old PC parts that doesn't involved EBay?
I have 4 or 5 cases, mobo's, HDD's, ethernet cards, mice, keyboards, memory...
I basically have all the parts from all the computers I've had over the last few years and I want to sell them, even if it's just for a few bucks. |

Heh heh. I put my last case out on the curb. Still have 3 I should get rid of....
You might benefit more (and it's less of a PITA) to donate them to a charity. |

My wife suggested giving them to Goodwill. I thought she was crazy...

Will Goodwill take pieces/parts, though? Or would I have to put them all together and put an OS on them?
I guess I probably shouldn't put an OS on them, that's technically illegal... |

I donated pieces to Purple Heart and they handed me a blank receipt to fill out the value. I don't know about goodwill. I know a few people who have volunteered for charity organizations repairing and assembling old computers. The parts come from somewhere....

Goodwill... they'll give you a blank receipt. Good for tax purposes if you itemize
![]() As for OS, I typically load a copy of College Linux (freeware).

This stuff is fairly old/outdated. The best of the mobo's is a PII-300. |

I'm going to build a couple of full systems for my neighbor kid and the wife's cousin.
After that, I'll PM you with what I have left. |
