Selling old hardware

Hey guys,

I'm curious when you build a new rig what do you do with the old one? Do you keep it and repurpose it or just sell it? 

I'm asking as I've built my new rig and now my MacBook is getting very little use and I'm conflicted as to whether I should sell it or keep it.

My first build;

AMD Ryzen 1700
16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2666mhz memory

EVGA GTX1070ti

2x 525gb MX300 SSD's 
2x 1tb WD Black HDD's (raid 0)

I personally keep all computers that I get, unless they're broken beyond repair. I found that you never know you need something until after you get rid of it. So I've kept just about every computer I've had because I at least never know when I'll need a generic Pentium 4 machine or a PowerPC Mac. If you have the space for it, keep it IMHO. You'll eventually find a use for it.

Not actually the database software, just some furry. Vintage tech enthusiast, has more old tech than they know what to do with.
