I would keep them personally. I've got a knack for old tech.

Digging through my closet and found these beauties. The one without a heatsink had quit working, which is why I tore it down. Now the question is, do i toss them out or put them back in the closet?

I like how they put super overclock on the heatsink.

I wish I still had some of my even older stuff, like my voodoo 2s and TNT cards.

Good old 3dfx. I will just leave this here.

definitely dont toss it! I really like old hardware, its cool having old stuff and being able to look at them. If you don't want to have them laying around, give them to a friend or something. Its a waste to trash them.

You can, uh, crunch with the working ones. Boinc can always use a hand.
