could use it as a VM host, media server, dedicated streaming PC, give to a friend/family member, sell on  your local resell site such as Craigslist etc... Donate to a local school for learning purposes.

I often have the same question and I personally think that donating is the way to go. For other uses like a NAS for example, I think you can have more power efficient and recent alternatives at a relatively low price. You might also be able to reuse some components (hard drives, power supply, case...).

Sell, donate, recycle.

Just sell it cheap to get rid of it if you have no use any more.

No one gives a shit about "educational purposes".

Sell it and make some extra $$ for an SSD or some more ram or smth

Depends on what you're looking for. You could sell it, or you could turn it into some sort of server (plex server, for example) but it's up to you. 99% of people would just sell it.
