Extra Parts Laying Around. What Should I Do?

[Carpathian]

Hey guys, I have a bunch of extra parts laying around that are basically collecting dust. They work just fine, i've just upgraded my rig a few times and have no use for these parts. I'd like to try and avoid having them recycled considering they are still in working condition, but they are taking up space that I could use for other things.

Any suggestions? Any and all tips are welcome.

Thanks!

Make a second computer for someone in your family if you have that many parts. Either that or make a mining rig. Obviously with secondhand parts it won't be great hashrate but it's better than collecting dust.

You could build a Kodi/plex media box if your into older arcade or retro games build an arcade emulation machine.

If you have room for a backup pc, use the parts to build one.
If some of the parts fit your current build, keep them as spares and diagnostic parts in case you have a problem with your PC.

Otherwise sell the old parts on ebay.
Look for the parts in used condition.
Filter on completed auctions.
In green, you will see what it actually sold for.
Be aware of shipping costs for a case, they are heavy.

I do this with my old parts. Buyers get a good deal, and I clean up some clutter.

As in Crypto mining?

Not too huge on many retro games and as far as media goes my current rig kind of doubles as that. Not a bad idea though.

I may just go with this and see if I can make some quick cash off of the parts.

Thanks for the help guys!
