I've got 88GB free on C: now, and the machine is MUCH quieter.

What do I do with 2 20gb and 2 40gb hdds?

I'm in a similar situation...I have three CPUs (P3-550e/1GHz TBird/XP1600 (the OCing one)) and assorted sticks of PC100/PC133/PC2100 that I don't know what to do with.

I guess I could sell them...but for what? Pennies on the dollar? I guess I'll just hold onto them.

It's better to get something for it than nothing at all.

Why let it sit there and rot if someone else can use it?

Yeah - I'd have a need for the ram sticks and the HDs. My brothers and I run a small network at home and we're 2 PIII 700s, a PIII 450 and an XP 1800+. The comps are choking on the 9gb hds and limited ram. And seeing how they're this old - you really just have to get used stuff to justify the cost. No point in buying a new 20gb or 40gb HD nowadays.
