PC Parts that you can't part with?

[randy hutajulu]

My corsair K70 is a SUPERLOVELY! I can't live with her!

[Analog]

My GT 210, man that's awesome card for 20$. It's so slow that nothing can go wrong with it, perfect for when my primary GPU dies due to overclocking and I need to wait for the RMA. 

[NeatSquidYT]

All these have some sort of use

Is that a parallel cable?

[NeatSquidYT]

I probably won't part with my G3258. Such a great CPU. I also got lucky with its silicon

[Diederik_Gr]

Probably my H80i, i don't want to get rid of it because of the investment i made into it, even though I'm back to air cooling my processor now (which still runs at the exact same temperatures). I'd consider it a mistake to buy one, but I'm still interested in strapping it to my GPU, can't find a proper way to do so though.

Yeah, use a Corsair HG10 N780 if u have a reference 770 to use ur h80i on there

That's the problem, it's not a reference 770. Nvidia reference cards are really hard to get here, except for the expensive cards that don't come with custom coolers. I did notice that there is a little heatsink on the VRM chips, so all i need is to find a secure way to mount it to the chip.

[Cwazywazy]

My Pentium MMX and the Dell Precision M4400 workstation laptop that I still use.

[MLGNOSCOPEHEADSHOTGETREKT]

My Athlon Chip from 2000

[hak4fun]

Hmm.... My first laptop. I loved my T60 and it will forever be remembered as the best *laptop i have used yet.

[SpaceTurtle917]

Anyone think my gt 520 is worth showing off?    :lol:     

[Hero7750]

I still have my HD 7750 that I bricked two years ago. Back when mining was profitable.

I have that card currently in my pc

[emachado99]

My OCZ Vertex 4 that failed on me a little while back.

 

It was my first SSD that I ever had, I don't know why but I just don't want to send it back for a new one lol.. I guess it holds some value to me

[GoldSrc]

I have this thing somewhere in a box

It's an old X1300

[IntelFan82]

My i5 760

[Ptopman]

Few months from replacing my GTX 670 and geting GTX 980, but if I get a new powersupply, she is going back in as a dedicated Physx card. I also have my first video card I ever bought around 7 years ago, I don't remember what is was and its in the garage so  no pictures.

[GuruMeditationError]

I have one really old GPU heatsink I keep around the place just because it looks kind of like a work of art, but mostly everything else I only keep if it's potentially useful.

 

Mostly the stuff gets filtered down into backup P.C.s that double as spare parts for my current P.C. and/or P.C.s for family members. Otherwise, everything else is sold on eBay and the money rolled into my next upgrade.

[Slash003]

I'll probably save most of my parts. Definitely my ram cuz i won that and cpu for keychain. I'll most likely keep em for spare parts incase problems arise and trouble shooting.

[xentric]

I have an Evga SC 680 stowed away that I'm not sure I want to part with.

 

I have an Asus GTX 680. I can't part with.

 

Even though I know the longer it sits in my closet the more the value drops.

[Brandon Cassie]

Probably my monitor, no regrets whatsoever 

[simson0606]

My pentium 4 prescott, it was the first cpu i ever bought

Also my i7 870 man i like that chip

And finally my 8800gtx, it's hot snd almost bricked but it was the first real gpu i've bought (second hand)

[flibberdipper]

Everything in HELIOS (other than the DVD drive) and everything in Athena (other than my 7950 since it's meh).

[Regank]

Mine too! *High fives*

I'm still using mine 

[Jade]

I do, I love them, for me it's a part of a culture, anyone can have digital copies on a hdd, but a shelf of dvds will always be more impressive.  That and I can lend them to friends without stupid DRM or being limited to watching only on certain devices or any of the other crap that goes with digital downloads.

Plex is a godsend. Rip the DVDs to a drive and store it in a Plex library and allow your friends to watch it. Good stuff.

[Dabombinable]

I have an Asus GTX 680. I can't part with.

 

Even though I know the longer it sits in my closet the more the value drops.

Try in 10-20 years then, because all computer parts get to the point that its nearly impossible to find them in good condition. (eg. 5.25" FDD)
