Dear Lifehacker,
I have built many computers throughout the years, but as they’ve become obsolete, I’ve replaced them with new computers. What should I do with all my old computer parts? I’d hate to just throw them away. Sincerely, Hard Drive Hoarder
Dear Hoarder,
No matter how obsolete your parts are, you can probably find one or two uses for them — even if they aren’t in a new computer for yourself. Here are some things you can do with them, both from the obvious end of the spectrum and the less obvious.
