or do you just let it languish around your home? and do you keep all the original materials because you know eventually you'll want to trade up?

edit: clarified

currently, I'm hanging on to old parts because I want to build an HTPC.

but usually I'll either give them to a friend or sell them on e-bay if they're worth more than $50.

Everytime I'm looking to upgrade?

 

[brtspears2]

I usually upgrade when someting breaks. With that in mind, never, as no one wants to buy broken hardware.

 

[Electric Amish]

I need to start. I have a crap load of old stuff that someone out there must want.

 

[mrrman]

I always sell my old stuff and upgrade..
