What spare PC parts do you have lying around, /g/?
>>51257167
Some older 775 based core2 machines
The only modern and potentially useful parts I have are a few decent power supplies.
I sell everything else when I upgrade
all of my old motherboard, ram, psu etc which became my server. pc master race, see you at your garage sale consolefags.
Outside of that the only thing I don't sell is a few PSUs, most common part I deal with for helping others for money that breaks and is almost totally universal, they're all sub 300w units from other dead pcs. And a shit ton of internal cables like sata and a few fans.
>>51257167
damn, willing to sell any of it?
I think I have a GTX 560 somewhere
I usually sell my old hardware when I don't need it anymore
>>51257167
I've got 4 mid-low end graphic cards, old cpu's, broken motherboards, 3 pc cases, water cooler, 3 PSU's, High-end graphics card, high-end cpu fan.
>>51257167
several hdds a dvd drive, couple sticks of laptop and desktop ram, and cables out the ass. I don't get rid of a computer often but when I do I strip it of everything that might foreseeably be usefull, don't have a spare psu cause the last box I got rid of was basically a laptop mobo in a desktop case
>>51257262
whatchu looking for
560ti, hadron, UPS for sale
H75, PSU not for sale
>>51257167
What cd rack is that? I've been looking for a decent one that's not the wire'y metal style.
Exactly 45 micronPC clientpro towers
i worked for USAA bank and when the promo ended in 2001 i was given all the leftover towers as part of my salary option, i didnt need the extra money and i thought the computers were cool
still got em all, all of them but 1 are brand new in their original packaging, still sometimes play the sims 1 on it

I actually just got rid of some stuff to a friend.
>>51257404
Some old shit I got from the thrift shop.
Laserline is the brand.
>>51257452
Would you be willing to sell a 240mm rad, CPU block and pump?
I have a system with an c2d e8600 that im upgrading to a xeon x5450.
Have a foxconn g41s-k itx board with a pentium something that is going to get the e8600.
Then my father is using a set top box with some itx board and an athlon x2 5400+ that will get the foxconn board and then i'll have the amd board+cpu and pentium cpu... hopefully to trade for a low-profile graphics card.
>>51257468
na. Sorry bro. I kept all my liquid stuff, Switch 810 case, and rads because If I ever go back to custom loop (currently on air) I know everything fits in the case and the parts all play nice without issue. Pumps are nothing special. One is XSPC single slot DVD drive that is rather weak.
Other in made by jingway, the OEM who makes pumps for phobya and EK. That's the one I'd be keeping.
270x, 8350 and a 6100. Also a spare 500w power supply and a M5A88 V Evo motherboard.
>>51257524
ah. What made you go back to air?
I've got two lower-end gpus, one is going to be a christmas gift to my little bro and the other will be sold on ebay.
I also have an AM1 system that hasn't been powered on in a while, thinking about turning into a minecraft server.
>>51257561
had a 90 degree fitting break on me during a system tear down. Was replacing a motherboard that died on me. (first motherboard just couldn't handle an fx-9370 clocked at 5.2ghz for too long. VRM finally popped.) Was swapping in my new sabertooth board. Anyhow, what should have been a quick switch and windows 7 reinstall turned into 3 days of me waiting for a new fitting. Got so fed up I drove to microcenter, bought their best air cooler (for $90 none the less) and slapped it on there. Haven't gone back. Been thinking of doing it but idk. I'm not as overzealous as an overclocker anymore.

i have an HP prebuilt a shitty PSU some random junk
and i'm harvesting components from a PSU that started to die.
I've got a shit-ton of legacy parts that I can't part with collecting dust, hoarding stuff, like most of /g/.
But I do display "good-looking" components, especially if they're broken or dead.
>pic related
>>51257167
literally a whole garage full of shit, several boxes full of cards, motherboards, drives, a bunch of terminals and probably 50-60 working and non working systems of various platforms from 1979 onwards
how does /g/ organize their parts? Safely storing expansion cards and hard disks feels fucking impossible.
One broken Toshiba laptop
One 4GB stick of DDR3L RAM taken from said laptop
A Packard Bell PB300SX Desktop
Packard Bell PS/2 Keyboard
MS-DOS 6.22 on 5.25" floppies
King's Quest IV on 3.5" and 5.25" floppies
>>51257167
I have a 240 GT sitting on my dresser.
That's about it.
>>51258379
don't tell me you actually hang that shit on the wall...
>>51258725
If I can't put them in some anti-static bag or their original packaging that doesn't take up too much space, I usually wrap them in something obviously non-conductive such as paper.
>paper
Not the best thing, I know - but it gets the job done. I haven't had any problems with paper yet, so that's good. I also buy bookshelf-like things, also shoe shelves etc and dedicate things to each shelf.
I regards to the paper, I started with some brown 'retro hipster' old gift look, then I just started to color co-ordinate them based on a few categories such as part type (mobo, CPU, GPU, RAM etc.)
>pic related
>>51258834
N-no...
>>51257442
Why didn't you sell them when they were worth something?
Also, it's funny that even a single laptop from today probably has more computing power than all 45 of them combined.
1 2006 acer prebuilt
1 monitor
1 gutted thinkpad
1 gutted toshiba laptop
1 2003 compaq pascero
lots of ram
lots of hard drives
a couple of keyboards and mice
so many screws
1 full mid end pc collecting dust (amd fx6300, 212 evo, gigabite ud3p mobo, 8gb corsair vengence pro ram, 1tb hdd, xfx r9 280 ect...)
>>51258840
not a bad idea
I kind of want to do custom wooden containers, especially for CPUs since you can't buy old trays anymore, sounds like a bitch to actually carry out though.
>>51258834
>he doesn't hang his technology on the wall
it's like I'm really on reddit
Since the only PC components I've ever sold were my dual 590 and 690's, I keep an entire working build around just in case and re-purpose/give away the rest.
>>51258980
Custom wooden containers, huh? Sounds like a good /diy/ project, know of any good carpenters? You could just learn some basics yourself.
I also want to do something on a smaller scale with dead PC parts
>pic related
looks pretty awesome IMO
I work at the rubbish dump and find shit sometimes
2X 6950s
5870
2500k system
Pentium G2030 System (not bad really)
Few cases
Set up a Core 2 system for a dude at work for $50
Sold a 2500k cpu/mb i found for $200 to a mate
>>51259077
Also forgot to mention i found my brother a 2500k system as well lmao
>>51259077
>>51259095
Noice, do you know of any other methods of dumpster-diving for those who don't work in rubbish dumps?
>>51259139
not that anon, but you pretty much have to have an "in" with these types of things. Either you work there or you have a buddy who does. Otherwise you're limited to scouring craigslist and yard sales / estate sales.
I used to work at staples and I took more than my fair share of recycles home. I never got anything as nice as a 2500k but at the time they were only a year or two old so most of them were still in operation
>>51259212
Basically this but we have a shop that we take shit over to. However no one except me knows anything about computers so most just get scrapped
:(
I have an old HPdc 5750 lying around that i spent 2 hours trying to install windows 98 on. I got it working and then tried the game blood and the difference between dos box was not worth what I went through.
Also a 750ti.
>>51259139
>>51259212
You can always post some ads on craigslist that you are willing to recycle other peoples old tech for free and that you'll be willing to pick it up in certain areas. Then you can just sort through all of the junk you get and take what you want and just drop the rest off at some place that does free recycling (Best Buy, Office Depot, Staples, etc)
If you don't get lucky though, you'll be wasting gas, your time, and putting unnecessary miles on your vehicle BUT you'll also be cleaning up the landfills =)
>>51259354
Pretty good idea, thanks, anon
>inb4 hoarder
>>51259510
If you do decide to do something like that though be prepared to have to filter through a lot of shit.
90% of what you get will probably be old printers. A small percentage of those printers will be old laser printers that still work fine and may be cleaned up and sold. Most will be junky inkjets that may be entirely defective or just need the printheads cleaned and ink reservoirs replaced.
Also be prepared to smash a lot of hard disks. A lot of people won't willing give up their data to a stranger (but for some reason they will trust a stranger in a uniform that works a minimum wage part time job) so you can put in the ad that when you pick up the machine you will destroy their hard drive so their data is unrecoverable.
At staples whenever someone dropped off a pc and said they had a concern about data I would always them them that I wipe all PCs that I get for recycle. That was a mostly a lie of course because most of them I did not wipe but I did remove the magnets from. The ones that I wiped I usually kept for myself. If someone dropped off their pc for recycle and were concerned about the data and it was slow in the store I would pull their hard drive on the spot and start wiping it. I probably only have a quarter of my total magnet harvest left, pic related. I lose them, give them away, use them for stuff, etc. They make great screw holders when disassembling something.
Hard drives are somewhat of a consumable so you don't really want the old ones anyway. You may get lucky and it may never die or it might die at the most inopportune moment. Maybe invest just use a cordless drill and a bigass drill bit and just take a chunk out of a circuit board or of the platters.

I don't really have any spare parts lying around that are worth money. If there is something worth money I rather sell it than let it depreciate into scrap on a shelf.
Two quadro fx 380, one fx 1800, 560ti, some old acer laptop and some old 180~ gb hdd
AMD 5200X2
Phenom x4 955BE
Intel q8300

Be careful, that's not an ITX mobo, but a DTX one.

Pentium dual core e5300 and fan
several 1GB and 2GB DDR3 sodimms
Mini ITX Case Apevia a008
Geforce 8400GS PCIE x1
2x Tp-Link gigabit NICs PCIE x1
A LOT of cables (VGA, Sata, DVI, Power cords, etc)
I have more stuff but don't remember atm
>>51257167
pretty much this, now defunct on a shelf
>>51257452
U sellin dem fans men?
>>51257167
boxes upon boxes of random expansion cards and cables
>>51259077
Why scrap a 2500K? I would understand a Phenom or C2D but this is a modern overclockable CPU that can easily compete with 2015 models.
I keep a Phenom II build myself, a Phenom 9600, a 780TI GTX, some fans. Want to build a mobile ITX station.
Sad thing is, I cannot use the Ti until I get a proper PSU. Also I expect to see the bottleneck of doom when I put this GPU on my 2006 AM2+ OEM board.
A 240w PSU that I changed out of a prebuilt, 6gb of DDR3 ram, and LGA 1150 motherboard.

It was in a Thermaltake V4 but I had the other case laying around too. I also have a 3930k in a Rampage IV with 32GB Corsair Vengeance that a family member gave me when he upgraded to a 5930k/X99 setup.
Also, I've got a couple of really old supermicro 1U servers the same family member gave me. I was using them for mail and NAS, but I bought something that serves the same purpose and doesn't require me to wear ear protection around the house.
I've also got a random collection of DDR/DDR2/DDR3/DDR3L RAM, a lot of cables that were never used, and several broken components like PSUs and fans and such. My room is a fucking mess.
