old hardware with potential use...

memory leakage

Hi, when i was looking for some random pc accessories in the basement, i found my older brothers old pc from 2005~. i had a lot of good memories from playing on this old thing but most of the parts were salvaged afterwards when we built an other pc for my younger brother back at 2007. so i was pleasantly surprised when i found neatly wrapped in an antistatic bag without any dust covering it, considering it have just been laying around for about 10 years. so the first thought was what i could do with this old card, but i couldn't really come up with any good ideas, as the bloody thing is to old to play the games that came out after 2007 and basically the only games i could think of was to make a pc for the very old games but i got other pc's for that already. 

 

So my question is, What would you do with older hardware, such as Gpus and Cpus

 

" The grafics card in question is a Radeon Sapphire X800 GTO Ultimate " any advice ?

well i have a ATi x550 laying around collecting dust somewhere on my desk lol

 

there isnt much use for old hardware such as that :P

 

what i recommend you do is recycle the parts

or you can take the cpu and get some swag out of it (will be doing this with my pentium 4)

im going to pick up a 13 year old graphics card because i want to experiment with some old hardware xD  so maby do that or something, or sell it

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Frame it and put it on your wall. It really doesn't have any other place nowadays :/ (you could sell it maybe?)

Frame it on the wall sounds like a good idea, i might as well do that. if i make a good job making it wall mountable, it could still be used at a later date. thanks for the suggestion, i didn't expect to get any response at all. ^_^
