What do you do with your old computers?

[Max-Powers]

I have a computer that I no longer use. It is about 5 years old.
specs are MSI k8n neo4 sli plat
athlon 64 4000
gforce 6600gt
512x2 corsair 3200xl
A tv tuner and a dedicated sound card.
Is this even fast enough to run Windows 7? What is the best thing to do with old computers? I would turn it into a web browsing and downloading machine, but I'm not sure if it is even fast enough for that.

Should be fast enough. I ran W7 RC on my amd 64 3000+ just fine when I was testing W7. Won't hurt anything to try.

I strip any useful parts then toss them into the recycle bin.

I take them out and shoot them.

 

[dr.stevil]

Donate them to friends and family or give the parts away.

I've been using one as a foot stool

 

[SuperSubZero]

Sell to whoever will buy it. Craigslist.

Amazing, I think we were separated at birth!

Sell the parts, give them to family, or build a pfsense router.
