>that empty feeling when you upgrade to a new pc and your old one is cast aside like a piece of junk
Goodbye old friend, we had some good times together
>>51734832
So you just but ALL parts for a new PC?
Why not just buy a pre built? Would be a lot cheaper.
>>51734832
I'll have this feeling soon too. 7 years strong on my current computer.
Jesus fuck.
I always hand my old pc down to my parents or younger brother.
>>51734832
donate it you selfish prick
or give it to family >>51734940

This. I have a hard drive, a psu and an HD 4890 still running well in a brother's pc. His room doesn't have heat either, so during the winter months we overclock it to hell.

>upgrade to
>a new pc
>old one cast aside
what?
you BUY computers whole instead of just upgrading components? are you retarded?
>>51734997
I'll probably just replace everything but the gpu in mine, but it's getting pretty old. Going on 6-7 years now
>m-m-maybe I'll use the old box as a server or HTPC
>realize you'd save in power by just buying some cheap modern box
>>51734997
>implying it's worth buying old parts that cost more than better performing ones
Have you seen the price of DDR2
>>51734832
Use it as a server you fucking retard jesus christ.

When you buy a new computer (or enough parts that the old computer will still work) you delegate a small task to the old computer such as torrenting, file server, etc. so that it can still feel useful and loved.

Shaking my head family

What if I'm jewish and don't want to waste power?

coming from a board full of autists that won't stick with what werks
>cast aside
Wtf is wrong with you? You sell the parts online
>seeing my old machine being used by my two nieces aged 10 and 9
>they bring their little friends to play on it
>everytime I do a routine check theres a shitton of malware
>pc is all dusty
>clean it up everytime
I am sorry old friend this is the best I can do, at least you're still running.
I sell mine with a freshly installed OEM OS and a keylogger.
>>51737084
i know this feel exactly
also, post your nieces, anon
I kept my old case so I like to think my old friend is still here with me. She's just gotten stronger.
I'm gonna cry when one day this case is no longer adequate.
>>51737090
i've got a little advice for you
stop being such a cunt
>>51734920
9 years on mine. I'm getting closer to retiring it.
;-;
gave mine to my friend who needed a new system.
we now game on GTA V together.
>>51734832
>not turning it into a kick ass HTPC, couch gamer/emulation console or even passing it on to a younger sibling or friend
>>51734832
I just gradually and continually exchange part by part so it's like it's the same one for just upgraded. I know almost none of the original parts are there anymore but humans are like that too in a way, right? I read something, somewhere, about how our cells gets replaced by newer ones until we no longer have any original ones left.

>that feeling when you upgrade to a new pc and your old one is turned into a server that stays on 24/7
I love upgrading.
>>51734869
Can't tell if bait.
>previous PC sitting in the closet
>want to turn it into a HTPC
>mfw will have to spend an extra $150+ on a mini-ITX motherboard and case for it
Fuck. I don't even know if it's worth it.
