Where do your old computers go? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Most of us have had more than one computer. I know that I've gone through several computers over the past 5-6 years. I remember giving a few old computers away to family members that just wanted to check emails and surf the net. Recently, I bought a lightweight/long battery life laptop. I now have an older laptop that I really have no clue what to do with. I mean, it's only 2 years old. Family and friends don't need it.

So, what happens to your old computers? Given away? Sold? Computer heaven?

Sell it, even older laptops go for a lot on ebay.

I keep mine in the cupboard under the stars to use if this one packs up.

I use Macs, so I get to resell all of mine. I get quite a bit, too.
