I have a whole slew of old 1990's computers, some missing parts, and I don't know what to do with them. The collection ranges from Pentium 133's to Celeron 1.1Ghz's. Anyone have any ideas for uses for them? Or where I could find any demand for these antiquated machines?

2) Some people love and collect the old stuff. I watch this channel and he loves stuff like what you have.

Send him a message to see if he is interested.
3) Post them on your local free ad site. Some people want the older machines because they play old retro games "properly".--- begin sig file ---

Re: Old PC's useful for anything?
use them to run "experimental" OS's.
F@H them (if your electric is cheap and you have space).
Use them to teach young ones how to build a computer (my dad taught me using a k6-2 box).
See if any's mobos are worth anything (some were common for CNC rigs and the like and still have replacement part demand)
if any are full ATX, hang on to the cases (with a $15 adapter from silverstone and a rattle can you can make them modern port wise). On the rare chance any are EATX, snap a few pics and PM me (I'm looking for a roomy full ATX case for a future potential build).sigpic
