What should I do with some old hardware?

    So, I decided to do some cleaning and have been going through some hardware(been stored in boxes). But I don’t know what to do with it… as far as I know all is working. I only removed it because I was doing upgrades to my PC. The last time I made upgrade was to my CPU about two years ago.
    Here’s what I have lying around and can someone suggest what I can do with it, sell for parts, build another machine, donate it, etc.?

    ASUS A7S333 Motherboard

    AMD Athlon 1800 ( I think)

    Thermaltake Heat Sink with Fan.

    310W PSU

    And other little goodies like USB 2.0 adaptors, cables, etc.

    I keep it until I scream.

    Seriously, I'd sell that stuff, either here or on eBay (no both). You could get some folding cash for it.

    If selling it here use the Buy/Sell forum.

    ...or donate it, plenty of places that need components to help the needy.

    Get some cheap second hand memory,an old video card and harddrive unless you have some laying around and build a media machine for your TV,its what I've done with one of my old boxes:)

    That or what Rikky said and turn it into a Linux box rather than a media machine.
    Either works. :D

    Good idea.
    Possibly I'll turn it into a media box or home server or some kind of test setup... ie, apache server, coldfusion server, linux machine (since I never had one).

    But it's been sitting in a box forever, so not sure if it's any good anymore.
    If I were to sell it, waht would be a reasonable price to ask, $30?
