They either go on display or I re-purpose them for an HTPC for the living room/family room. My 8800GT is an exception, because I don't know where the cooler went so it doesn't look cool if I display it...so it's sitting comfortably in my closet in its original retail box. :)

the original fan straight up fell off its bearings, i've since replaced said fan, resoldered a part in said fan, and a few other random bits and bops because gigabyte was absolute shyte back then.
