Ive gathered over the years a descent stash of desktop computers and parts but now i have too many and im not sure what to do with them or how to sell/get rid of them? Or even where to post them at. The computers are nothing new or special.

What would you advise?

    I wish I still had my old computers. I really miss my 98 machine with an 8mb 3D Rage Pro. I used that until 2005. Ive been buying some WinXP era stuff recently, since it seems to be in the sweet spot for buying right now. I got a pair of quad core Xeons for $10! Ive got 32gb of DDR2 for $35. The GTX 980ti wasn’t super cheap, but thats a card you maybe still could use today. This is going to be the bitchin’-est XP machine. Im excited.

        Oh, thats really cool. I never had any pre-pentium stuff. I used an Apple ][ in school, and I remember playing Oregon Trail on 5.25 floppies, on a beautiful green monochrome monitor. But my first computer at home was a Pentium 133. It was a Compaq LTE 5300, with the docking bay, the CD drive, extra batteries, all the fixings. I loved that thing.
