Do you keep old computer parts or you throw them?  

Hi,
Friend i doesn't throw any parts away. They can be serviced and used. I had a old computer with a configuration of only 128mb RAM, 40 GB Hard Disk. I got money to buy a new system, i have just kept all the old parts of my PC and then i had bought the system. In my new PC i found hard disk was failure and i was using old one. So don't throw any old parts. It will sure be useful at any time.
Happy mylotting.
Have a nice day.

I also have some CAD work to be done and my wireless mouse was not wroking after reading the discussion posted by you I also realised I have my old mouse wired one though but in working condition, will be using that.

I keep all the accessories of the old computer safe as it becomes handy when there is some trouble with any of the parts of the new computer, especially the mouse.

hi rakesh284

I have a few old pc's that I've stored away and I will not throw them out.
They are useful in case a newer pc should break and when I can't afford a new pc, then I'll reuse my old pc. So it can save money.
Also the older parts have components like floppy disks. I still store a lot of files on floppy disks. So whenever I want to use them, I just turn on my old pc.

day!

I tend to be a collector of items that maybe can turn out useful later on, my boyfriend is also like that, especially with computers and his gadgets. If something breaks down he normally has some other equipment on stock which he can fix or exchange the broken parts with.

i never throw such things... recently i found some fault in my cpu. it is not getting power in it.. I have one spare power wire of CPU and i tried that and its really work for me... I thought it was big problem in my cpu but in the end it was just wire mistake. Also I am using one of my old keyboard. Because some keys from my new keyboard are not working properly so i have to switch to my old keyboard.... So we shouldn't throw the old computers. It can be useful in future for sure.

Lol i had kept somekey boards and mouse that were not working , i had puchased new ones, one day i gave them to a shop owner in the market for repair, he could repair 2 key boards and one mouse, but i am sorry to say that they never worked properly, in my opinion purchasing new are best...
Thank you so much for this discussion. .
Merry X mas.

I never give them a second look and they are given away by weight I have lost count of the number of mouses (or number of mice speakers, monitors that I have replaced and gone in for brand new computers. Ofcourse it is disturbing to see these almost looking new (but dead) parts given away by weight!!I just donated my old computer to the technician who attends to my computer maintenance. He deserved it as he is prompt and quick.

Nah, don't really throw them. Usually I used them for many things. Like a RAM, I used them as a keychain. Some part on VGA, FAN, Cable, etc I can use them also by canibalizing them. But I usually throw the really-unusable part away as I have no benefit by keeping them.

normally i have no extra computer parts and only buy new parts when the old are broken and can't use any more but if it still can be used i won't throw it. my desktop was bought 5 years ago and that's really old and slow but i won't throw it and just keep it on the house. and it maybe useful later.
