You should get rid of them before the FBI comes in and sees that you had dead bodies in your closet for 20 years

Died Computers in Closet.

Nice grammar.

Anyways, I just keep my old or dead computers (only one Toshiba laptop qq) wherever I feel they need to be.

Well I did take apart my old dell PC, kept the DDR2 sticks of RAM, The HDD, the GPU (7300 LE) as well as the DVD Drive. I ended up throwing out everything except the hard drive which I tried to install into my new rig, was dead, so that went out to the trash too.

Keep the super old stuff or sell it, those old Pentium machines are going up in value. Always good to have a collection of computers if your a nerd ;)

No, I view my computer systems as being a fluid component cluster rather than isolated entities. I regularly disassemble and rebuild my computers to fit whatever purposes I may need at the time. If a single part dies I take it out of use and replace it. If an entire system is no longer in use I will take it apart and re-purpose it into several other systems. Basically, there are no 'dead computers' in my house. Every computer I own works to the fullest of its capabilities otherwise it is recycled.
