What to do with a dead motherboard?

[Odeen]

Hi there

I bought a CPU locally from a fellow Anandtech trader. He didn't have a CPU holder, so he gave me the CPU mounted on a dead board. The thing was missing its BIOS chip, so I have no opportunity to even check how dead it actually is.

The CPU runs wonderfully, that's a non-issue. However, I'm not the kind of person to just throw things away, so I'm looking for suggestions for what useful things I can do with it..

So far:
Removed BIOS battery. Extra CR2032's are always good
Removed jumpers (they're color, and "taller" than usual, so easy to remove - therefore useful)
Removed the white DIMM slot clips. Good to have spares if I break any of those during a hurried RAM swap at some point.
Removed northbridge heatsink. It's the "Greeny" with spring-loaded clips - should be useful to cool something, maybe a motherboard with holes around the south bridge.

There's a short thermistor in the middle of the socket462.. don't know what I can do with that. Otherwise, the board is mostly present and accounted for, but I've never desoldered anything..

Any more suggestions?

desolder the AGP and PCI slots or maybe the CPU socket if your hands are steady enough. It sucks to break a socket lug off.
