do you keep old old old computer hardware for sentimental value?

..I've got a bunch of junk lying around including an Amiga 500..Id be better off if I gathered it all up and left it at the curb..finally get some elbow room in here and stop tripping over it all.

If I cant use it I usally take it out back and have fun destroying it. Good times with that let me tell ya.

..somebody out here posted a pic of their computer room..and one of the walls looked strange..upon further inspection of the pic the strange looking wall was covered with old mother boards..I guess he must of been in the repair biz and just started nailing removed mother boards to the wall..anybody else recall that pic??

Yeah, I keep my 486 to play Star Control 2 without all the screwy DosBox rubbish on my P4.

I had a RivaTNT collecting dust for years until it got a new lease of life in an old P3.

Pitching garbage in it. The box might have been beaten to hell, but I still know an ATI logo when I see it.

Just listed the MAXX in my FS/T thread.

My Voodoo3 PCI card is in my server. Can't game on it, but the 2D is great. Every once in awhile, I'll run 3DMark on it just for laughs.

 

[seanws]

i keep it forever if i cant find a use for it or sell it. i just cant seem to throw anything away.

 

[xcript]

Yeah.

I have a bunch of old 8088/8086 boards in a drawer, some 5 1/4" 20MB HDDs, etc. in boxes.

I will never throw them away.. NEVAARR!!!
