Should I do a Graphics Card Giveaway?

I have a water damaged HD6950 Directcu ii sitting right in front of my keyboard. I managed to repair it once it lost like 75% of its value :( It runs perfectly stable now though! However, it is no match for my 390x. There are a couple bodge capacitors and extra wires on it now, but like I said, it runs fine. If I DO decide to do a giveaway, my rules would probably be that it needs to go towards someone who really cant afford a whole lot in terms of GPU horsepower. Thoughts? Should I do it?

I already need it. My GT610 nearly blew my PC to smithereens and i kinda need a replacement before it really does blow it apart.

All the pikeys come crawling out the woodwork for another giveaway.

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Similar build to what I am doing once I manage to sell my rendering PC!

 

Oh, yeah, I saw that thing on the classifieds. I was thinking about buying it for spare parts (SSD's, HDD, RAM, CPU, MOBO, and PSU).

If you buy it, you get your name in the credits in my upcoming build log with an arc mini R2 crammed with as much hardware and radiators as I can afford

I decided it wasn't worth the $850 for me. I was more willing to go $600 due to my current new build.

is fine. I would be willing to part it out though if I eventually get the same profit for it...
