Dead stuff is recycled. I have some working HDDs, GPUs, and peripherals that I keep around.

Kinda...I have a box full of cables (don't know how many of them still work :D )....since I found MKBHD on YouTube I do my best to get my room tidy and minimalistic...so the majority of my broken hardware is already gone...i only keep my 4870x2 with the arctic cooling for putting it on my wall (sometime)...

Not just dead stuff, but I also have working stuff in there, as well as a metric butt-ton of cables.

I'm not quite at 1 metric butt-ton, more like 1/4 of it.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)
